In this guide

Step 1: Gather your tools

You might need some of the following tools:

Make sure that:

The vehicle's ignition is turned off.
The vehicle’s windshield temperature is not too hot or cold, recommended between 50°F to 80°F (10-26°C). To regulate the temperature, park indoors, park in the shade or use your vehicle’s air conditioning system.

Follow the cable from the driver-facing camera into the headliner.
Slowly pull on the cable to remove it from the headliner.
If the connector is not behind the headliner, remove the A-pillar cover. This may be as simple as removing the screw or releasing the clip that holds the A-pillar in place. However, always consult the vehicle manual first.
Follow the cable route down the A-pillar to the DC power adapter.
Remove any panels or zip ties that secure the cabling.

Do not undo the clips that hold the airbag in place, to avoid setting off the airbag.

Ensure that both the engine and the DC power adapter are switched off.
Disconnect the cable that runs from the cable to the screw connector to the driver-facing camera.

Gently slide a scraper between the camera's sticky pad and the windshield.
Remove any of the sticky pad's residue that is left on the windshield. To do this, you can:
- Rub the residue to cause friction and create heat. The residue will peel off.
- Use an adhesive remover along with a scraper or other suitable tools.
