Are you aware that if it covers any part of the screen swept by the wipers, it's an automatic MoT fail?

I use a spray bottle with water and a small squirt of washing up liquid to fit sunstrips. Make sure the strip is dry before trying to fit the letters.

I think Mot failure depends on your inspector as I've had sunstrips on all my cars for about 10 years and never failed one yet. Never had a copper question them either. Think it all depends on how far you come down the screen. Mine is about 4" deep in the middle of the screen.

My sunstrip is a strip of fairly dark window tint on the inside and SUBARU across the top in yellow vinyl on the outside courtesy of Sticky WYIOC
