Dodge Viper Gen 1 (Early Model) ‘Rear View Mirror’ Trim Ring

Description

For the SQUARE Shaped Mirror

This stainless steel piece really stands out. This trim ring (square-shaped mirror) is a peel-and-stick high-polished metal piece that fits along the edge of your rear-view mirror. Because the trim is high-polished stainless steel, it is as reflective as your mirror.

Does not interfere with the mirror operation. No modifications are needed. Made of pure, bright, heavy-gauge stainless steel with a high-polished finish. It will not rust, corrode, or lose its luster. Everything you need is included. Easy to install: peel and stick.

Check your mirror shape to see which one you need.

Note: Will not fit 1997–2002 Vipers.

GENERAL TRIM PART INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction: In the next few paragraphs, we explain what you need to know for a successful application of your stainless steel trim accessories. Almost all stainless steel peel-and-stick trim accessories need to be pre-shaped by hand to ensure a long-term installation. While each part may differ slightly, the installation process follows the same general instructions.

Top Liner Info: Your new accessories come with a protective clear or bluish surface liner. Keep this liner in place until installation is complete to prevent fingerprints or scratches. Only remove it when instructed.

1. Surface preparation: Examine the surface for special treatments, such as wax, silicone, or polymer preps. Press a strip of masking tape firmly onto the surface and peel it off. If it comes off too easily or does not stick, perform a special preparation. Typically, mix a 32-oz bottle of water with about five tablespoons of Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Palmolive Dish Soap. Wash the surface vigorously with this solution to remove contaminants.

Once this is done, proceed with regular preparation: scrub the surface with alcohol and wipe dry. Test again with masking tape. If it sticks, the surface is ready. If not, repeat washing until a good tack is achieved. Swipe the entire surface with the adhesive promoter included in your stainless steel kit. This promoter is not a cleaner but an adhesive accelerator that ensures a reliable bond on a clean surface.

1. Apply the accessory: Pre-shape the stainless part by hand so it conforms perfectly to the surface. Adjust it little by little until it matches the surface without needing pressure. This ensures a perfect fit before peeling and sticking. Taking your time prevents the part from popping off later.
2. Once the surface is prepared and the part shaped, peel the red release liner from the back. The adhesive is strong and cannot be repositioned once it touches the surface. Align all holes and perimeters, press firmly along the surface to bond, and then remove the protective liner. The bond becomes permanent after 24 hours.
