How to Install a Car Sunstrip

Warning:

  • THIS GUIDE IS FOR WET APPLICATION SUNSTRIPS ONLY! DO NOT FOLLOW IF YOUR SUNSTRIP IS MEANT TO BE DRY APPLIED.
  • We advise using this guide to apply your wet application sunstrip, as we cannot issue a refund or replacement due to incorrect use or application. If you feel you are unable to apply your sunstrip, then please contact us.
  • Always apply your decal in a neutral temperature. Do not apply your decal in temperatures too hot, cold, humid, in rain, winds, or heatwaves.

 

Step 1: Clean the windscreen with a clean microfibre and isopropyl rubbing alcohol or water, so that the surface is free of dust, dirt, and grime. Please ensure you remove any wax, ceramic coating, or protectors from the surface. Do not use any generic glass cleaner as these can leave residue and cause the sun strip to peel and bubble. Make sure to dry the surface before you move onto step 2.

Step 2: Measure up your sunstrip to the windscreen making sure it is level using a tape measure and masking tape to mark both sides where you would like to place your sun strip.

Step 3: Spray the surface with soapy water to make it easier to adjust the vinyl on the glass and provide an easier, bubble-free, and neater application.

Step 4: Peel off the paper backing and place the vinyl on the windscreen making sure both ends line up with your marking points.

Step 5: Squeegee out all the air/water bubbles from under the vinyl ensuring it is perfectly flat. Cut the excess vinyl off around the edges using a sharp craft knife.
