it's best to lay the decal on the windshield center it up, then put a peice of masking tape in the middle (to hold it in place) then lift one half at a time pull the backing off then lay it on the whindsheild and from the middle out apply pressure with a flat object pulling the flat peice towards you then repeat on the other side and should be perfect!

puchis01civic is an unknown quantity at this point
Fill a spray bottle or a bucket with water until full, with 2 drops of dishwashing liquid or until semi slippery. Use a clean sponge to apply the solution on the car or the vinyl.
(If the decal starts to stick before its aligned, spray more water on the graphics or put more soap in the solution). Spray the area on the car where the vinyl is going to go and then apply the vinyl carefully!!................Use a heat gun to speed up the drying process.

dont forget to clean the windshield with soap and water before putting it on...dont use windex cuz it will prevent sticking use glass dish soap and it'll be fine...also puchis01civic has a good method but it depends on what type of vinyl sticker it is

I like he said it depends on the decal how much surface area is touch the windsheild most decals do not require soapy water me personally I've never used soapy water on a decal for the windsheild...

pnoyster2k1cvic is on a distinguished road
let it sit for about 2-4hrs or untill the it's totally dry... and peel it really slow, if the decals old more than likely it would stick on the paper but don't yank it... peel it as slow as possible and like I said make sure it's super dry before you take the paper off... and ow, use a credit card type or any plastic piece to take the bubble off the sticker, wipre em from in to out...
