Troubleshooting
Visor strip not sticking properly
Ensure the windscreen is completely clean and dry before application. Re-clean the surface and reapply the strip, pressing firmly to eliminate air bubbles.
Bubbles or wrinkles under the strip
Carefully peel back the affected section and reapply, smoothing out the material as you go. For small bubbles, gently prick them with a fine needle and press flat.
Difficulty trimming the strip
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a fresh utility knife blade for clean cuts. A ruler can help guide straight lines.
Adhesive residue left after removal
Use a commercial adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol on a soft cloth to gently dissolve and wipe away the residue. Clean the windscreen thoroughly afterward.
