The banner is going to come folded. The folds are in between the letters.
Clean your windshield.
As you peel the paper back off of the decal, spray the back of the letters with Windex. It will keep them from instantly sticking to anything.
Once you have the paper backing off, spray the windshield and lay the banner on. The windex will allow you to slide and position the banner until it dries.
I found when I did mine that the ‘r’ lined up perfectly with the edge line of the black section in the windshield where the rear-view mirror and camera mount.
The top of the ‘T’ should should be 1/2-inch from the top of the windshield.
The top of the dotted ‘i’ should also be a 1/2-inch from the top of the windshield.
On the passenger side the top left corner of the ‘T’ should be roughly 7.75-inches from the windshield edge.
I use a plastic blade to smooth it out and make sure I get any bubbles out.
Now you just have to let the decal dry and stick to the glass so you can peel the application tape off. Peel the tape back slowly to make sure the vinyl is sticking. It could take an hour or so depending on the temp.
