First off, You need to clean every trace of grease and grim off of the surface your going to stick it too. I would also think it needs to be cool to the touch. The only reason I can think of for them not sticking good is that it might not be clean enough.

Seems to me that the decals on the air filter are paper and the others are plastic. This could be the reason for the wrinkling. I don't know, just a guess.
