Detailed Install Guide – Dishy Armour Protective Cover for Dishy Mini Mount

Follow these steps to securely attach your Dishy Armour protective cover to the Dishy Mini Mount for maximum protection and stability.

What You’ll Need

  • Dishy Armour with included hardware
  • Dishy Mini Mount
  • 4mm Allen Key

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dishy Mini Mount
    • Place your Dishy Mini Mount on a flat, stable surface.
    • Using the 4mm Allen Key, remove the existing 8 × M6 20mm hex bolts from the top of the mount. Set them aside; they are no longer required.
    • If you already have your Starlink Mini installed, skip this step.
    • If installing the Starlink Mini for the first time:
      • Remove the 4 × Top Caps (corner pieces).
      • Place the Starlink Mini mount into the cradle.
      • Reinstall the Top Caps in the same position and orientation.
    Note: The underside of the Top Caps has a lip that should face downward and rest on the inside of each base corner piece.
  2. Prepare the Dishy Armour
    • Remove the protective film from both sides of the polycarbonate cover.
    Note: The cover should appear completely clear (glass-like) once the film is removed.
    • Take out the 8 × M6 30mm hex bolts supplied with the Dishy Armour from the hardware bag.
    • Ensure the Dishy Mini Mount Top Caps are properly aligned and oriented.
    • Place and align the Dishy Armour over the Dishy Mini Mount.
  3. Secure the Armour
    • Make sure the Armour holes are properly lined up with the Top Caps and mount.
    • Carefully insert each of the 8 × M6 30mm bolts through the holes in the polycarbonate cover.
    Note: Each bolt should pass through the protective cover, the Top Caps, and into the base corner piece.
    • Once all bolts are in position, use the Allen Key to partially secure each bolt in a crisscross pattern to ensure balanced pressure.
    • After partially securing all bolts, use the 4mm Allen Key to fully tighten them.
    Note: Each bolt is secured by a nyloc nut and will not loosen on its own. Tighten only until firm—do not overtighten.
  4. Check Alignment
    • The fit should feel snug but not forced.
    Note: There should be a 10mm air gap between the Dishy Armour and the Starlink Mini to assist with cooling during warmer months.
    • Once all bolts are tightened, inspect the installation to ensure the Dishy Armour is flush and fully secured to the Dishy Mini Mount.
    • Adjust if necessary.
