just take your time. they kinda show in the video I posted how they did it. I left some tips above. no rush, make sure the car isn't hot and the vinyl is cool too. There are several ways to line it up, you just have to be a little creative! GL!

here's a link I found real quick, it has some good tips too. https://www.carstickers.com/blog/pos...er-like-a-pro/

just to update too.. it's been about a week and a carwash later. no issues! just being gentle on the window washing part. otherwise all good

Don't use water on the window like the video suggests according to the guy who I have been e-mailing with at Premium Auto styling.

What do you suggest? I've always used a soapy water mix for tint, but admittedly, I'm not familiar with window decals.

He said these vinyl decals go on the window dry.

Just going by what the company making and selling them says. I have not received mine yet.

Gotchya. Yeah, mine shipped on Monday. I expect them shortly. Thanks! BTW: I ordered the black v. grey. I'm not sure what the black looks like, but I'll report back here with the install.

Black is what I also ordered. Will be a couple weeks before I get to try to install. I have another week left off shore at work, then a week long trip as soon as I get home. So two or three weeks before I do the install.
