After trying twice to put a giant white/clear checkered decal on the roof of my mini, iv'e failed and wasted money.

How do you do it?

Without it bubbling, ripping, tearing, not fitting (i'm a dunce!) lol

thats the trick lots of soapy water and a rubber window cleaning thingy to squeze the air and water out

have you been trying wet or dry fitting the sticker ?

[mini_turbo_pete]

loads and loads of soapy water... and i mean loads...

Use a rubber squeegy or a bank bank card if a squeegy isn't available to push excess water and bubbles out, leave it to dry for a couple of hours..

Or just paint it on like i did.. lol...

Lots and lots of soapy water, so the vinyl doesnt stick straight away!

Theres no need for soap in the water, the soap risks the decal not sticking so well. Just water on its own should be fine.

[asmith88]

nah the soap gets rid of the water quicker does it not? lets it dry quicker.

[RacingGreen]

Not from my experience, and ive been doing it day in, day out for years.

But then, i dont need to use water
