Red steering wheel H

[EPJuicebox]

I just bought the corsport steering wheel vinyl Red H, and was wondering if anyone had tips on how to put it on clean. any suggestions other than slap it on? soapy water maybe?

clean the area with rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol however you spell it lol and than just place it on, make sure you have it all lined up good though

did you have trouble with air bubbles?

[thechromecoyote]

like any vinyl application, some heavily diluted soap water can help position it before it sticks.

thanks guys. i went out and did it and i got some air bubbles. im gonna try again with the second one they sent me.

[RHCP0801]

I didn't get a chance for round 2 on the vinyl last night, but I will today after work I'll post pics as soon as i get it done.

Before you go removing the first one, use a pin to pop the bubbles and force the air out. Then when it is nice and smooth hit it with a blow dryer, dont melt it, just enough heat to relieve the surface texture and smoothen it out.

cool...now i need to get one!

[EPJuicebox]

Finally got around to it today check it out.

Yeah my girlfriend put mine on because my hands aren't that steady and I didn't want to mess it up.

[T_Virus]

[WhiteComet]

im such a douchebag, i scewed up both of mine cus I didnt line it perfectly...

The steerring wheel is slightly curved so even when I did line it up perfectly there was a bubble that came out..

Same here. I messed up 3 times and the one in the pics is slightly off center but it's the best I could get it. lol

I'm going to order more later on though and try to get it perfect.

how do you get rid of the soapy water so it sticks if you take that method?

[2005rollingegg]

thanks guys. i went out and did it and i got some air bubbles. im gonna try again with the second one they sent me.

Don't worry about the bubbles. Once it gets hot inside your car the bubbles will naturally go away.

Got my stickers from corsport today (4 for $6 in my envelope). Tried the diluted soapy water technique and got it perfect with my first try. The water just gets pushed out the sides of the sticker and sets pretty quick.

[shelbz]

when i put mine on a couple yrs ago.. i had a couple bubbles also. they all went away except one.. if you poke it with a small pin it'll clear away. you can't even tell on mine that there's a tiny hole there.

I took this route when i did mine. It looks perfect. the Soapy water allows you to adjust before the vinyl sets. I would post pics, but my camera was stolen a month ago. JERKS

[danielakatoxic]

i just slapped mine on and it was spot on. it had one bubble, and the next day in this texas heat it disappeared.

Corsport. I think they have a special for ephatch members where they send you 4 stickers instead of 2.

[Tortoise]

[Ep3_boy1]

did you have to put a promotion code or anything?

[codyep3]

when I left a comment that i was an Ephatch member, and provided my Sign name, they only gave me 2

[mangvue05si]

wow that sucks for not getting 4, i ordered a set, then pm "corsport" that i didnt know there was a special for ephatch's

just provide your order # and you will be fine

and to get it to fit nicely... erm just clean it with a wet cloth and dry it...

Best cheap mod ever hehe :) ...it's a bit tricky to put on. Like everyone else said, bubbles go away.

Sorry if i sound like a science newb, but what is heavily diluted soap water.. Is it a lot of water with little soap or vice versa? haha
