Hello!

Does anybody with or without experience of fitting stripes have any advice and info on how to fit side stripes, including height and the way they should be applied? Do you spray them with water and washing up liquid before fixing like you would with window tints??

Thanks!!

i think using masking tape to get your skills at getting it level would be a good start if you know what i mean

I've not fitted stripes or anything like that but i fitted a sun strip to my old pug.
I used plenty of soapy water and applied it make sure you use plenty so you can manoeuvre it around then and get rid of any air bubbles not sure if that’s relevant to the stripes they look like a whole different ball game.

hmm I am hoping that's what I can do, but I am slightly concerned as they are mounted on another material, not sure if it will all stand up to the water.. anyone know!!??

All i did with mine was masking tape along the top with the backing tape still on. Lined it up where i wanted folded the sticker up and removed the backing tape. then remove the backing paper and put the sticker on. If you have any air bubles get a needle and pop them. Then go over the stripes with a hair drier to shrink the sticker. Make sure you don't get it to hot or you'll melt the glue and it will fall off.
Hope thats clear enough, If not i'll get some pictures up tomorrow by making mock stickers.

ah that sounds like a good plan, think I got the gist mate, think I will give that a go at the weekend hopefully!

i messed up 2 sets and have not even tried set 3 so have free set of white sides if anyone wants them

With the help of a friend just for help with lining up the stripe.

1. at each end of the stripe stick a small lentgh of masking tape horizontaly, just enough to hold the stripe in position, now with the help of the friend look at the stripe and unstick the end (s) to get it straight and stick the ends back down.
2. when you are happy the stripe is straight were you want it apply a lentgh of tape along the top edge of the stripe to stick the stripe down along the top.
3. now remove the two end pieces of tape so that the stripe is hanging from the top tape.
4. when you are happy with the alignment of the stripe, carefully turn the stripe upwards folding it against the tape, you are now viewing the backing paper, carefully start to remove the backing paper bit by bit and allow the sripe to fold back down and stick to the car, smoothing out the stripe as you proceed to carefully remove the backing paper until finished and the stripe is on the car, check for bubbles if any and prick with a pin to the edge of the bubble not the centre, smooth over you finished stripe with a soft cloth.
5. do not wash the car for several days to allow the adhesive to bond.

Hope this helps.

Cheers for that Fiestaman, does anyone know what sort of measurements to use? How far up the door the first stripe is for example?

Cheers mate will check it out tomorrow
