Detailed Install Guide – Dishy Armour Protective Cover

The following detailed instructions walk you through correct installation of your Dishy Armour, ensuring maximum durability and proper airflow.

What You'll Need

  • Dishy Armour with included hardware
  • Dishy Mini Mount (already installed)
  • 4mm Allen Key

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dishy Mini Mount
    • Place your Mini Mount on a flat, stable surface.
    • Remove the existing 8 × M6 20mm bolts.
    • If installing your Starlink Mini, remove the Top Caps, insert the Mini, and reinstall the Top Caps.
    • Ensure all 4 Top Caps are aligned — these support the Armour.
    Note: The underside of every Top Cap has a lip. This lip must face downward.
  2. Prepare the Dishy Armour
    • Remove protective film from both sides of the Armour.
    • Inspect the Armour — it should appear crystal clear.
    • Set aside the 8 × M6 30mm bolts.
    Note: Ensure the Top Caps are correctly oriented before placing the Armour.
  3. Secure the Armour
    • Place the Armour directly on top of the Top Caps and mount assembly.
    • Ensure all bolt holes line up (Armour → Top Caps → base).
    • Insert each M6 30mm bolt downward.
    • Tighten all bolts in a crisscross pattern.
    Note: Tighten bolts until firm — nyloc nuts prevent loosening.
  4. Check Alignment
    • Verify a uniform 10mm air gap between the Dishy Armour and the Starlink Mini.
    • Confirm the Armour is stable, properly seated, and evenly tightened.
🎉 Your Dishy Armour is now fully installed — sitting securely on top of your Dishy Mini Mount and ready to provide superior protection.
