I recently ordered some seatcupra.net internal stickers X2 in white. Did everything it said on the website and when i put them in place and tried to remove the sticky backing to the writing it came off put pulled the writing with it. So i had to take the backing tape of mega slowly but the end result saw the stickers not in line along with the the bits of paper in the middle of the A's and P's getting pulled off.

Anyone got some usefull tips on how to stop this from happaning to the next ones i have ordered. (wasnt happy with the end result of the ones i have fitted just today)

Anyone else expercinced this problem when applying these stickers to their back window ?

I find that rubbing the whole sticker for a few minutes between finger and thumb leaves the sticker on the transfer tape no problem.

Also, in this cold weather (for internal stickers) warm the outside of the glass with warm water first. :)

As DPJ says , ideally , the glass AND the sticker(s) need to be warm.

also turn heated screen on if on back window helps. try not to breathe as well as condensation can form :)
swap you for doing 43ft trailers outside

used to work with vinyl, for smaller stickers just make sure the window as been cleaned with a spirit based cleaner.

Make sure the decals are at the very least at room temp and you wont have a problem. For larger areas spray on a weak mix of washing up liquid and water, allows you to place the vinyl on the car and move it around before using a burnisher or cloth it remove and air or water behind. Sticks like a charm!

same happened with my internal, my recommendation is get the bigger one as it looks better (imo) and is easier to apply

This is good advice just going outside to fit my newly arrived decal
