FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the sunstrip?
The standard size for the Volvo Sunstrip is 53 inches by 12 inches. Larger sizes are available upon request.
Do I need to trim the sunstrip?
Yes, the visor is designed to require trimming once applied to the window to ensure a precise fit for your specific vehicle's windshield.
Can I choose different colors for the "Volvo" writing?
Yes, you can choose a separate color for the "Volvo" writing and the sunstrip background, offering a high degree of customization.
Is the "Volvo" writing applied as one piece?
No, the "Volvo" writing is sent separately from the sunstrip visor. This allows you to decide the exact positioning of the writing on the sunstrip.
How do I clean the sunstrip?
Clean the sunstrip using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemical cleaners to maintain the vinyl's quality.
Is this a one-piece application?
The product description mentions that one-piece application sunstrips are also available upon request. The standard visor application involves separate text placement and trimming.
What tools are recommended for installation?
You will need a sharp craft knife or blade for trimming, a squeegee or credit card for smoothing, and potentially painter's tape for positioning the lettering.
Troubleshooting
Bubbles under the sunstrip after application
Carefully lift the affected area of the sunstrip and reapply, using a squeegee or credit card to push out air bubbles towards the edges. For stubborn bubbles, a pinprick may be used, followed by smoothing.
Sunstrip not adhering properly
Ensure the windshield surface was clean and dry before application. Re-apply with gentle pressure, ensuring the vinyl makes full contact. Use a heat gun on a low setting (held at a distance) to make the vinyl more pliable if needed.
Trimming resulted in a jagged edge
Carefully re-trim the edge with a very sharp, fresh blade. Consider using a template or masking tape to guide your cuts for a cleaner finish.
Lettering is difficult to position accurately
Use painter's tape to temporarily hold the letters in place before final application. Measure and mark your desired positions lightly on the sunstrip or use a spirit level for alignment.
