reason it narrows in the middle is due to staying out of the swept area for the MOT ,, some might pass it but if too much of the wipers goes over it then its a fail so the narrow part helps with this

very easy Dave ,,, spray bottle and sqeegy or credit card works well ,,,, spray window with loads of soapy water ,, then as your peeling the sticker spray the back aswell ,, then when you place it on the screen the water acts like a barrier so you can move it around a bit if needed ,,, then once in the right place squeeze all the water out with the card or squeegee and then leave to dry ,,, once you have done it like this you will find it easy to do

utter nonsens like 2.5l in fake wrc car.
Half inch and You are done btw . Have a look on Yours where it will touch , it will be bikini strip instead of sunstrip if You would like to stay legal.
