S1 Elise – Windscreen Sunstrip

The Elise is a summer use car and just occassionally in the UK the sun comes out in the summer. What the Elise lacks is some sun visors. So an option is a sunstrip and I quite like the sort of race look of them so gave one a go.

Proper clean of the screen first.

Set out some masking tape to line up the lower edge to.

Apply. I decided to apply it dry. Not sure if this was the best idea or not. Often a mix of some water and maybe car wash spayed on is helpful but I’ve also found doing that to be a pain in the past. Who knows what the best way is???
