Use a needle to pick the bubbles?

Get the dealer/graphic company to replace it. And wait for hotter/drier weather.

smartbomb · Dec 24th, 2003, 11:20 AM

I would swear for approx half an hour and then take it back to the fitter.

Rakey · Dec 24th, 2003, 12:33 PM

is the roof section part a removeable or permanent graphic section?

best recommendation is to go back to fitter

jasonfields007 · Dec 24th, 2003, 12:34 PM

it's removable at the moment... having dificulties keeping it on!!

was it suppsed to be one that was removeable? as in not adhesive on the other side, jsut water?

if so then DO NOT use a pin, you might just have to wait for a drier day to fit it on so it drys and stays on better.

i'd be straight back there (after swearing quite a bit like smartbomb!)

jasonfields007 · Dec 24th, 2003, 02:18 PM

thanks for all you're advice... especially u DK

i've spoken to the fitter and cool new and the fitter has agreed to install it again when i get a replacement from coolnew (if they replace it)

have a look at the pics attached!

bloody hell Jason, what a mess! I got mine from CooperFlags, fitted it myself. Hasn't come off. Suggest the problem lies with CoolNew.

KJ_daGreenMini · Dec 24th, 2003, 07:03 PM

it looks like you made it yourself using insulating tape. lol. If its one of those non sticky appliable ones then wait for a drier day to put it on, if its not then go back and get it replaced. Either way its looking a little stretched and wrinkly. Infact, take it back to the people that fitted it and ask em 'take a look at this, can you see something wrong?' then feed em heavy weight motor oil.

Rakey · Dec 24th, 2003, 07:33 PM

well jason nice to know you will get it sorted by them, hopefully a happy result, shame it wasn't done right in the first place to save you all this hassle and grief.

hope you have a good Christmas

That's what I would do if I were applying a decal and end up with bubbles

Just shows you how much I know about decal

Good job I am not going to have any then

swamos · Dec 24th, 2003, 08:02 PM

You are supposed to use a water/detergent solution when aplying, and squeege all the bubbles our before it dries

NEMINI · Dec 24th, 2003, 09:22 PM

not sure I'd use that same fitter again, they do not appear to know what they are doing.

jasonfields007 · Dec 25th, 2003, 11:54 AM
