Visors, what are those???? You mean the short shelf to hold paperwork?????
When I bought the Excursion, the P.O. had a strip of tint installed across the top of the windshield, and it stopped just above my normal line of site..... on my test drives (yes I drove it more than once) I remember thinking this tint strip is going to be a pain in the a$$.......
Do you think the strip helps with cooling at all? Keeping the sun off you? I'm wondering about tinting my windows to help with cooling. And was debating a strip.
Laser, thanks for the cleaning tips. I bought some new stuff today so lets see if I can clean this well.
I did find these instructions on Amazon. supposedly from Permatek Tech line. Didn't seem like they could hurt.
#1. Scrape old glue from window.
#2. Use rubbing alcohol 70% or 91%. Then clean with some weak Dawn soap and/or just use water to clear the pours of the glass of any residue from the alcohol, then dry with a paper towel. I asked him if a hair dryer could be used to dry up any water inside the glass and he said yes, but then wait for the glass to come to room temp again before using the primer.
#3. Clean the metal button with alcohol first, then use either a wire wheel to scratch up the metal button or get a piece of 400 grit sand paper and place it on a flat surface (to keep the button surface flat and true) then rub the button over the sand paper either back/forth or in a circle to really clean the button and put micro scratches in it, then clean the button with alcohol well, and then again with water and dry it...maybe again with a hair dryer to evaporate all moisture.
#3. Apply the primer to the glass ONLY! The primer is a copper ion activator/catalyst that impregnates into the porous glass and will react with the glue, but ONLY apply it to the glass since it will react negatively with the metal button.
#4. Wait a 2-3 min. for the activator to dry on the glass.
#5. Apply a drop or 2 of the glue to the metal button and press onto windshield and hold it until it sets. Wait 24hrs to mount the mirror.
#6. ****Most importantly***** THESE PRODUCTS HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE. The exp. date is only on the activator pack. It is a 7 digit number imprinted on the pack and it is the first 2 digits you need to be aware of. The 1st digit is the last digit of the year and the 2nd digit is the month but is represented by A-L, and A= January, and L=December. Example: 1A34567 "1" = 2011 "A"=January Only use if it is 2 yrs old or less
