Window Decal/sunstrip

[Jimlad]

How do you put it on ???... lol

ta

[Chappers]

Use a water-mist spray and a credit card to get rid of the air bubbles..

Prepare to get annoyed when it all goes Pete Tong

[Jimlad]

am I right in thinking they go on the outside??

[BLOODUK]

am I right in thinking they go on the outside??

yes and you may need to cut and fit aswell

[Rookey]

am I right in thinking they go on the outside??

Yep!

Basically:

1.Clean the window

2.Spray a mist of soapy water over the area you want to put it on

3.Start to peel the back off the strip, and as you go, spray soapy water on to the sticky part of the strip

4.Once you have a healthy amount of soapy water on both the screen AND the sticky part of the strip, place the strip in the right place on the window

5.Wet the top of the sunstrip and use a squeedgy thing to squeeze the water out from underneath

6.Once most of the water is out and it seems to be in the right place, use a stanley knife to cut away carefully at the strip so it lines up with the window seal.

7.use a credit card or something to make sure it all lines up and leave it for about half hour until its totally dry and voila! you have an applied sunstrip!

Word of warning, try not to stretch it when you put it on, as once its been stretched, even slightly, it will look bad when it dries as it creases.

Hope this helps bud! :P

obviously need another person to help!!

clean windscreen first! then wet it with soapy water (use a spray bottle), peel back backing paper, wet the sticky side of sunstrip with the soapy water, then put across top of wind, flatten it slightly, then get the person to push down hard and you pull it towards you so it is a nice tight fit! get rid of some of water under sunstrip all over, then cut, then finally get rid of all the water/air bubbles using a cred card! any bits that stick up, put your cred card flat and push down hard for 3-5 mins and should stay down

jimlad mate u can do it on your own good tip is use a credit card as a cutting edge

[breezer]

easier with someone to help! even if it aint windy

[Roytoner]

Well have you fitted it ??

[JappyBeast]

make sure it doesnt foul with the window wipers too much as it might damage/peel it.

[LORD_ED]

[knightrider]

top of wier must no come within 10mm of the sunstrip i think it is

TIP get smaller wipers TIP

[ricomr2]

I've seen the sunstrip he's talking about and it goes on the inside of the window

[LORD_ED]

the majority are meant to go inside the windscreen but its not easy to do (removeing rearview mirror trying to get force onto film gettin water in car its a nightmare) so the esay way out is to plonk it on front

[ricomr2]

This one cant go on the outside though because the glue is on the face,

so the writing would be back to front

[LORD_ED]

glad i said majority

[Jimlad]

it could be quite tricky... lol

I'll attempt it soon no doubt with the help of Rico... will post some pics.

it does look good though.

[Razor_Rage]

nooooooo, i hate sunstrips don't destroy your beautiful 2 with a sunstrip jimlad!

[Jimlad]

but it's a classy TRD one... does look good !!

Is clear in colour apart from the TRD writing.

[kalmr2]

[JappyBeast]
