Decal install...

Post by 2006GT on November 19th 2008, 11:06 am

I thought I'd pass along my experience in applying the BMMC window Decals....

The prototype.. didn't go as well as planned for many people including me. The "Mustang Club of Tulsa" lettering didn't stick all that great.

On Sunday, I applied the latest version to the official BMMC Support Vehicle (the wife's Edge) and had much better results! I did it dry....

Here's what I did:
Step 1) Clean the window surface absolutely spotless!
Step 2) Position the decal (with the front face removed obviously) and slightly apply pressure with your hand in the middle on the decal.
Step 3) Using a decal squeegee... work your way out from the middle of the decal to the edges. Apply a lot of pressure and make sure to get all of the air space between the decal and backing. DO NOT USE WATER OR ANY SOLUTION! I think this killed the adhesive on the first ones.
Step 4) At a 45 degree angle, start at one corner and slowly pull the backing off. SLOWLY! Try to pull the backing off at as much of an opposite angle as possible. Like you pull back the covers on a bed.

This method worked great for me. All the letters seem to be much more secure!

Good luck. Hope this helps!

+1 on Paul's install tips. I installed mine at the BHF Tech Day (glad we had a tech day scheduled; would have been weeks 'til I could have installed it otherwise); I cleaned off the glass first, firmly squeegeed all the air out after applying it to the windshield and then let it sit in the sun for 20 minutes. Slowly peeled off the backing while pressing down on the lettering in front of where I was peeling off the backing; so far so good - looks great!
