Replacing Trunk lid Stripe

[Kingfish 11]

I've had a Ford Stripe Kit for no telling how long. I'm presuming and hoping it's still good. My other concern is applying it to the trunk lid. I attempted this several years ago with disastrous results. I had all of these bubbles in the stripe that I couldn't squeegee out. So I gave up!

 

What are the tricks to applying one? And are the newer after market ones easier to apply?

 

Thanks for any help! Steve.

i used a product called slide on application gel. i was a rookie when i did it. But overall thought it went pretty easy. i also used new stripes.

Soapy water works as well. Have the surface wet and soapy, then put the stripe. You'll be able to slide it around a little and get rid of bubbles as long as water has not dried. You also want to remove excess water from under the stripe with a plastic (credit card) type of tool.
