Universal Car Sun Strip

 Premium Quality with 60+ Styles Available

Vinyl Dimensions:

300 x 1500mm

Please note this is a universal product, these will fit the vast majority of vehicles but unfortunately there are some such as Renault Traffic Van which has a wider windscreen. We recommend having a quick measure up before purchasing.

Please ensure you read all the instructions carefully as depending on what style to choose will determine the correct installation method.

Installation Guide

For best results apply in a clean environment at warm temperatures. Do not apply in very cold conditions and the films will become brittle and risk taring.

When you receive your sun strip it is carefully packaged into a large letter box. This offers the best available protection unlike other Companies that will tape it tightly together and package in a polythene bag.

If you believe there is a problem with the sun strip please take a photo and send me a message. DO NOT throw the item away as refunds or replacements require detailed photos of the issue and may require you to return the sun strip. We cannot be responsible for problems caused by the installer, if in doubt get help from someone who has fitted one before. We advise installation be carried out by 2 people as this makes installation much easier and where possible apply in a dry, dust free environment out of direct sunlight

 

APPLICATION

There are two types of films available, solid vinyl and translucent vinyl. All solid vinyl colours have air-release technology and is installed dry. The translucent films are a wet installation. Both of these will come with an installation guide to give you all the information you need to have a successful installation.

Dry Installation (Solid Vinyl Colours only)

• Thoroughly clean the windscreen and surrounding area to remove all dirt, grit and grease using either degreaser / panel wipe.
• Using a heat gun or hair dryer make sure the windscreen and surrounding area is 100% dry.
• Using two small pieces of masking tape, mark the level you want at each corner of the windscreen.
• This step requires two people, remove the back paper and both take one end each and carefully apply. As this is applied dry you want to make sure you position correctly on the first attempt. If you need to re-position the vinyl make sure the windscreen and vinyl is warm.
• Apply sun strip to the windscreen leaving the excess at the sides and top, a squeegee tool is best for this, work from the centre outwards.
• Trim off excess vinyl with a sharp knife being careful not to cut into the window rubber!
• When it is fitted I would allow a few hours to make sure the adhesive has bonded to the windscreen.

Wet Installation (Translucent Films Only)

• Thoroughly clean the windscreen and surrounding area to remove all dirt, grit and grease using either degreaser / panel wipe. Once clean and dry spray a thin layer of fresh soapy water (water with a drop of dish soap).
• Remove the clear film on the inside to reveal the adhesive, spray the water mixture onto the adhesive side as well as the windscreen and surrounding area.
• Apply sun strip to the windscreen leaving the excess at the sides and top. The soapy water will allow movement of the strip to ensure it is placed centrally.
• Squeeze out excess water and air bubbles from under the strip working from the centre outwards, a squeegee tool works best to do this.
• Once all the water solution has been squeegeed, trim off excess vinyl with a sharp knife being careful not to cut into the window rubber!
• When it is fitted and you are happy, remove the clear protective sheet that sits on the outer side of the film to reveal the finished look. I recommend leaving 24hrs to ensure it is dry and the adhesive has bonded as if the surface still has moisture under the film and driving will cause the strip to come away from the surface.
