CUTTING THE HEADLINER
1. Insert a pick tool or pin through the
cutout templates center point indicator
and the center point mark on the headlin-
er to align the cutout template with the
center of the vehicle.
2. Sight down the center of the vehicle from
the rear and align the template so it runs
square to the vehicle and other interior
components.
3. Make sure the arrows point toward the
front of the vehicle. Attach the template
to the headliner using masking tape.
4. Using both hands for control, cut the
headliner with a razor or sharp knife, being
careful not to slip. DO NOT cut past the heavy
line marked CUT LINE. It is the maximum cut
size when using the trim ring for installation.
The only time the headliner should be cut
past this line is when the monitor mount is
being installed directly to the headliner
without the use of the trim ring.
NOTE: For extra support it is suggested that the minimum
amount of the headliner be removed.
INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE
1. After removing the headliner cutout, thor-
oughly clean the inside sheet metal of the
vehicle roof with a degreaser so no dust or
residue remains. This will allow the mount-
ing posts to securely adhere to the vehicle
roof. Extremes in temperature can diminish
the life of some adhesives allowing the
overhead monitor to vibrate or come loose.
NOTE: When installing the mounting plate it is always
advisable to use any available metal roof sup-
ports in conjunction with the mounting posts.
2. Place the mounting plate against the vehicle
roof or headliner and mark the location of
the slotted holes that will give the most sup-
port. As with the template, make sure the
position of the mounting bracket is square to
the vehicle and interior components.
3. Using these marks as a guide, remove the
double-stick tape from the mounting posts
and apply to the vehicle roof. Position the
mounting posts at the approximate center
of the slotted holes. This will allow for
maximum adjustability during the final
mounting of the OHC100. After adhering
the mounting posts to the vehicle roof it is
recommended that a generous bead of sil-
icone be applied to their base at the point
of contact with the roof.
NOTE: Take care not to dimple the vehicle exterior or punc-
ture the roof sheet metal when tightening screws.
