Here’s what I did:

1. Took a razor blade to cut off all of the old adhesive (on the passenger mirror I took a scraper to break off the remaining glass).
2. I took rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth and carefully cleaned the housing plate, paying careful attention to the 4 “mounting points”.
3. After waiting about 5 minutes, I used the adhesive in the packaging and attached it to the mounting points.
4. I lined up the mirror and held it down for 20 seconds.
5. Time will tell how well the adhesive circles worked, so if you want to make sure it’s done right the first time, consider using some type of windshield adhesive on the back instead.

The glass is two sided, so you DO NOT need a left and ride side, just turn the mirror around. BUY HERE.

In the case of G-Body cars, dash caps are a popular aftermarket accessory. The dashboards in G-Body cars were made from a type of plastic that is prone to cracking and fading over time, especially in cars that were exposed to a lot of sunlight. This can make the dashboard look unsightly and can also lead to electrical issues, as some of the dashboard components may become loose or damaged.

By installing a dash cap, G-Body owners can give their dashboard a new look and protect it from further damage. Dash caps are relatively easy to install and typically require no special tools or modifications to the car. They come in a variety of colors and styles to match the interior of the car and can be a cost-effective alternative to a full dashboard replacement.

Here is a list of tools and products that are typically needed to install a G-Body dash cap:

1. Dash cap: This is the actual plastic cover that will be installed over the existing dashboard.
2. Adhesive: A high-quality adhesive is essential for securing the dash cap in place. 3M Super Trim Adhesive or Permatex Body Shop Heavy Duty Headliner and Carpet Adhesive are popular choices.
3. Cleaning supplies: The dashboard surface must be clean and free of debris before the dash cap is installed. Common cleaning products include isopropyl alcohol, degreaser, and a lint-free cloth.
4. Sandpaper: Sanding the dashboard surface can help the adhesive bond more securely. 220-grit sandpaper is typically used for this purpose.
5. Razor blade or utility knife: A sharp blade is needed to trim the dash cap to fit the contours of the dashboard.
6. Masking tape: Masking tape can be used to hold the dash cap in place while the adhesive dries.
7. Plastic scraper or roller: A plastic scraper or roller can be used to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles in the dash cap after it has been installed.
