sun strips, inside or outside?
 
ive just had mine removed as it didnt pass the last MOT with it. i stuck mine on the inside originally as i didnt know it should be on the outside. this was one of the most difficult things i have ever done and not one i wish to repeat, as half my hair and chair fluff ended up stuck to the bladdy thing...

i am about to put my new translucent legal one on but as my wipers are so long they will hit the visor, i assume this will eventually damage the blades...should i put it on the inside or the outside :wonder:

i read the instructions and it said to put it on the inside, i pulled the mirror off and now i cant get it back on. i also stuck the sun-strip to itself and now it is in a screwed up ball in the hedge:mad:

For next time Sara you need to have two peeps doing it. Also you HAVE to use water with a mix of washing up liquid, To about the normal ratio you would use for doing the dishes. That's not a sexist comment by the way. ;)

You then need a small squeege (spn*) to get rid of the water under the strip.
work from the middle to the outsides.

If you could hold out till July Time I could pop over and fit one for you. I'm only in Watford so not that far from you.

I think you have seen some stuff I've done before. Soulgirls car for starts.

My only charge was a Pizza LOL

ive fitted two and fooked two :lol1:

this one said to find the side that the liner was on then wet outside of window stick the thing on with liner facing you. then trim to fit and while it was on the outside, peel the liner off. that was the easy bit:p then i had to move the poxy thing from the outside to the inside after wetting the window with soapy water. i had already pulled the rear view mirror off which i didnt do with the first one. this is when the bladdy thing decided to make contact with itself. after that i got really pissed off and i screwed it up. and now i cant get the mirror back on:cry:

pizza it is then:D

i will have one more go as i bought two, then expect a call from me :thumb:
