I have them on my 2005 KR emblems. You would think they would make them better.

The big Ford emblem on my tail gate looks real bad.
Its peeling and turning white.

K1,
I have overlays & I used the soap solution to put them on - so there were bubbles and it slid all over the place. Once I got it aligned, I left it alone for a few hours & the bubbles went away. Good luck!

I put my overlays on when it was like 30 degrees outside, so i used the wifes blow dryer to heat them up and force the air out. No air bubbles here!

I made sure to smooth mine out during the "installation" process. I put it on in the 80+ degree May heat. I've now had them on my truck in the central Texas heat for a full three (3) years with no noticeable changes whatsoever. FYI, I have the domed version ... that have probably not been supplied by any overlay suppliers in the past year or so. I could be wrong, but I think the more recently acquired overlay emblems are the flat (normal sticker) variety. This may or may not be a factor. Who knows!?

ROBFX4 ... that's the best non 500x100 signature I've seen to date!!! I almost did something similar a few weeks ago. Now that you've done it, I don't have to.

Rob that is ****ing funny. My overlays have no bubbles, just be careful while installing and take your time.
