    Help with clear bra

    I installed my clear bra over the weekend. There is one small piece that I can get to stay down. Its a curve right around the headlight. I tried hair dryer, alcohol and water mix and nothing. Any of you pro installer have any suggestions?

    I'm guessing your going to need some 3M adhesives get that part sticky again.

    The brand (such as: 3M and/or Venture Shield, XPel, Clear Defender, Smart Shield, Argo Tech, etc.) of your clear bra PPF would be a most helpful piece of info. Thanks.

    3M makes way too many adhesives to guess at it. Do you have a phone number for the manufacturer of the clear bra? I'd start by contacting them and asking what they suggest.

    So the wife can fix it, you mean! HA J/K

    You have the best of the best in choosing XPel. As you already know, Xpel's customer service will assist in anything you need to make the install flawless.

    By the way, what did you prepare for the wife's (and your?) supper?

    LOL, It was like pulling teeth to get her to just park it in the sun and push the area down when she got to work! I was hoping that with the 100 degree temps today that would shrink the area into place. Didnt work, still lifted up.

    She didnt get home until 930 so Ill have to try tomorrow to fix it. Ill try the 3m spray adhesive on a toothpick.

    She usually prepares dinner, I made myself a bowl of ceral and a PB&J samich!

    Hope that works out for you.

    LOL. I have to have a PB&J sandwich each and everyday for lunch.

    If the 3M adhesive fails to resolve your issue, then, if I may, suggest giving XPel a call (210.678.3700) to explain the situation. They will have a definitive solution for you.

    Good luck and happy free-from-chips motoring!
