You have to stretch the striping right before you get to the corner that you are doing. Make sure its warm outside so the striping will stretch evenly, don't stretch it to much or it will break, and make sure you press on it when you get it down, so it don't stretch back and come off. I've done this on my car and it works very well. If you look at my picture below, you can see where I laid the bottom stripe on it.

OK thanks. The decal has got the 3 layers right, so take the paper backing off then heat the decal up and set it into place and smooth it over, correct.
