Wtf it fell off
 
I just bought and put in one of those static cling sun shades. I found it this morning on my drivers seat. Maybe I should glue it on.
Any help,what did I do wrong.

Maybe you need to rub it on your head first

Sorry, just being a smart azz. :D I'm not sure what this product is.

You have to snag a cat and rub the shade on it's fur to get it to "Cling".

:iagree:

I would put a blanket down on your seats first, 'cause afterwards, by the time you drive to the emergency room, there will be blood all over the place! :D

Was the underside surface of your top clean? I've had one on for 3 years now with no problems. When I put it on, I took the roof off, laid it on the floor (on top of some soft blankets), then cleaned the surface 3 times with glass cleaner just to be sure. No peeling, no bubbles, just good static kling.

Make sure that the window is clean.

Probably a little to challenging for the Tech section. You should post this in General.

I know off-topic......but about cats, my Grandmother asked me to take some cats off cause she couldn't feed all of them. I volunteered to pick them up and haul them off. BIG MISTAKE!!!! She put some food in the bowls and these humongous big headed tomcats come out of the woods. I said JESUS! but they appeared tame enough............UNTIL..............I picked up the first one. Then like a Jerry Crowler story...........IT WAS ON! That Bas^%$d was as wild as a Bobcat! He tore me up to shreds, I'm hollering JESUS HELP ME!!!!! I couldn't shake that devil loose he had so big fangs and claws....... After about an hour later( it seemed like it) we both seperated from exhaustion and me (Blood loss). It wasn't even funny then, but I look back now and laugh. Lesson learned----Don't pick up a wild cat! Even if your Grandma says they are OK.

Those things are junk and look ugly. I had the same experience. Just pay 60.00 and tint the glass.

Bill Curlee 10-11-2012 12:01 PM

Clean the glass surface well and use a fancy fiber polish cloth to buff the surface. As you rub the fiber cloth on the surface you will feel the static build up. Apply the tint sheet and it will cling very well.
