How to Attach Windshield Decal
If you are not quite sure how to attach the decals to the windshield (as I wasn't). This is how I did it and it worked out pretty well.
You will need:
Aerosol Window Cleaner (Any autopart store)
Rubbing Alcohol (whiskey don't work)
Spray Bottle containing Water (H2O for you intellectual types)
Small Rubber squeegee (jgrish let me use his but I have no idea where he got it, sorry. I'm sure something smooth, small and straight would work fine)
How to: (applying decal in a shaded area would be ideal)
1) Clean Windshield thoroughly with the Aerosol Cleaner (especially the top)
2) Pour some Rubbing Alcohol onto a paper towel or other applicator and wipe down the top portion of windshield until no residue shows on applicator
3) Mist the top portion of windshield with water
4) Remove paper backing
5) Place Decal in desired location, If you want it centered on top of windshield line up left side of R with the rear view mirror
6) Step back to see if it is level, adjust as necessary
7) Take your squeegee (or like item) and using firm, steady pressure rub the letters into desired location using single strokes
8) Once you have rubbed all letters into place remove the paper topper and your decal should be secured to your window, if applied properly it will have minimal air bubbles. Take a small needle while still a little moist and pop the air bubbles then smooth out with your squeegee (or like item).
9) The "ehi" is filled in with the same color as the main letters, you can leave it on or cut it out, I would try to decide before putting it on to make it easier while it is still tacky, using a razor blade to ensure it is not over lapped anywhere. We almost pulled off the middle part of the "e" due to this.
10) Stand back and enjoy the look of your new Decal!
