How to Install Your Vinyl Decal
Dry/Hinge Installation Instructions:
The dry/hinge installation is the fastest method to install decals (average 20-90 minute installation times). However, unlike the wet method, you only have one attempt to get it positioned and installed. Once the vinyl film touches the window surface, it cannot be removed without causing permanent damage.
Step 1: Unroll the decal in a climate-controlled area and lay it face-up on a smooth, flat, clean surface. Using the application card or squeegee at a 45° angle with moderate pressure, start in the center of the decal and squeegee towards the outer edge in all directions. This will help re-adhere any areas of the transfer tape that may have become delaminated from the vinyl film during shipping.
Step 2: Position the decal face-out on the window. Align the decal to the window — keep in mind that it has been designed with a 1/8” offset (the decal is 1/8” +/- smaller than the window). Some designs feature 1/8” installation guides which will be removed after installation. Use masking tape to hold the decal in place at all four corners. Once you have the decal lined-up to the window, place a single piece of masking tape vertically across the center of the decal and onto the body panels on either side — this will create the “hinge.”
Step 3: Remove all pieces of masking tape from one side of the hinge. Do not remove the hinge piece of masking tape. Start slowly and gently removing the transfer tape from one half of the release liner. If a section/piece of vinyl film remains adhered to the release liner, imme-diately stop peeling. Carefully roll the transfer tape back over the section/piece and use the application card or squeegee to adhere it to the transfer tape. Continue slowly peeling the transfer tape away from the release liner until you reach the hinge. Be careful not to touch the adhesive side of the vinyl film with your fingers or to the surface of the window.
Step 4: Cut the release liner with a razor blade or scissors just to the side of the hinge (if paper lint is present, wipe away with a clean, lint-free paper towel or cloth and alcohol). Fold the exposed side of the vinyl film back over — do not let the vinyl film touch the window. Hold the transfer tape taut above the window and use the application card or squeegee at a 45° angle to begin working the vinyl film onto the surface of the window starting at the center of the decal and moving vertically from center-out. Use moderate to firm pressure and work in small sections until you reach the end of the decal. Remove the remaining pieces of masking tape, including the hinge piece. The transfer tape will now hold the decal in place. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the remaining side of the decal.
Step 5: Run the application card or squeegee, starting from the center and working towards the outer edge, across the entire decal to ensure you have adhered the vinyl film to the window. The adhesive coated on the vinyl film is pressure-sensitive, so the more you squeegee the decal, the better it will adhere.
Step 6: Starting in one corner, slowly and gently begin peeling the transfer tape away from the window. The vinyl film should remain adhered to the window. If a section/piece of vinyl film remains adhered to the transfer tape, immediately stop peeling. Carefully roll the transfer tape back over the section/piece and use the application card or squeegee to adhere it to the window. Continue slowly peeling the transfer tape away from the window until it is completely removed.
Step 7: Your installation is now complete. If your decal features installation guides (1/8” lines that follow the shape of the window in areas where the design is not present), you may now remove them. Please review our Care & Maintenance Guide for information on how to extend the life of your decal.
Please allow at least 72 hours before washing your vehicle.
