Rear vinyl inserts..

I just got some smoothlocks, front bird overlay and pontiac vinyl inserts for the back. Front went great, smoothlocks were super easy and fast. When I got to the rear inserts, I just couldn't get some of the letters to line up and ruined a few. So getting ready to order another set, and was wondering if anyone had any tips.

Use some baby shampoo thinned out w/ water so you can slide them into place. Put like 3 drops of soap into some water and you'll be good to go. Get them positioned then press them in w/ a cloth of some sort to get out any access water....let dry and your done.
Hope that helps

use rubbing alcohol with acouple drops of dish soap in it, the soap will allow you to move it around, and the alcohol will dry it up nicely, and use a cloth or something to squeeze the water out, I found a qtip worked well to get in tight spots
