Soo... It's going to be warmer this week. I just need to pick a warm day, peel off the back, and slap the letters onto the inside window minus the air bubbles? There's no other secrets?

you slap it to the OUTSIDE of the window. When you peel back the sticky (this will make more sense once you see it), it leaves behind the paper part, which can be discarded, and the tape part with the vinyl decals. Peel this back slowly, and if you notice any letters aren't coming up properly, take a little extra time with them as needed. Then you apply the sticker, tape side down to the outside of the window. The tape will stick as will the vinyl lettering, and then when you remove the tape, the vinyl lettering should remain behind on the window. Hope that makes some sense.
What some people have done, but I've never tried, is to spray the windshield beforehand with some slightly soapy water. This will allow you to "reposition" the sticker slightly as necessary, and then squeegee it out, the water leaves, the sticker is left behind.
Especially for the windshield, its best to have two people working on it, or jump on your hood and do it, but you'll want to try and make sure its centered and straight and everything as much as possible.

ok, ok, so I'm finally getting a truck tomorrow!!!!! :occasion9: :bounce:

Sweeet!! anyway, I figured I just might have to put the stickers that I got from Matt last Sunday on it. hmmmm lol

Tomorrow, I'll be the proud owner of a '69 F250, 390v8, manual, less than 5K on the motor!!! hehehe :twisted: I asked the guy how it ran, and he said he is selling it because his son had gotten too many tickets in it, lol, so that means it's fast which is good.
