Emblem Overlay Installation Information and Video
Best Practices for a Good Install
Installation Dos
-Clean your emblem of dirt and debris with mild soap and water or ammonia-free glass cleaner
-Install when temperatures are at 60°F-80°F. This ensures the film will be pliable and the adhesive will bond to the surface.
-Make sure you're applying even medium pressure with a squeegee or covered credit card to smooth out the overlay. This releases the air between the emblem and the overlay and adheres the adhesive to the surface of the emblem.
poor practices for a failed install
Installation Don'ts
-DO NOT clean your emblem with a degreaser or Ammonia window cleaner right before installation, this will impact the adhesive.
-DO NOT peel your overlay from the backing until you're ready to install it. The goal is to keep the adhesive contaminant-free.
-DO NOT slap it down and rip it off. You will stretch the film and once it's overstretched it will crease and distort the graphic. If you have a crease gently lift the edge and slowly peel it back then you can lay it back down.
-DO NOT apply it with soap and water.
