Trail Sight Overlays (Printed Series Vinyl)
These have always been a popular item. With the addition of the printed series, we can get closer to matching other items on the vehicle. It also lets us add the "Max Load 150lbs" text.
Ships with 2 full sets of overlays. You only need to use one, but we don't like our customers to be stranded without a backup. I found out that each time I installed the overlays using a dry method, it wound up in a slightly different place. If you don't like the alignment, start over with a new one.
For off the shelf vinyl colors, please check out our standard series overlays.
INSTALLATION
Clean the application area and apply the vinyl using a dry (preferred) or wet installation. Make sure the area is clean and free of dust, debris, dirt, wax, etc.
85 degree install WEATHER without high humidity is the best environment.
Some will choose to clean the application area with rubbing alcohol which is okay.
"Rubbing alcohol will not damage car paint if it is diluted to between 10% and 15%. Since rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly, it doesn't damage car paint."
Make sure the installation area is completely dry before attempting an install. Cleaning agents take surprisingly long amounts of time to dry when it is humid.
When really hot try doing the install in the shade so it doesn't heat up the vinyl rapidly. Perform a dry install.
Low heat is recommended for maximum bonding with a dry installation as well. Note that every spot we installed these on had slightly different alignment. Initial alignment will result in various final alignment. On our vehicle the bolts were not all centered on the bolt hole.
After installed, the next few times you visit your vehicle, be sure to press the vinyl down firmly. This will help it to develop a strong bond.
I was waiting for a hot day, as the youtube video suggests that you wait for consistent 85 degree weather, but I put in on yesterday (sunny and 75, but oh well). They were a little tricky to line up, but so far so good. I was a little worried about the outer ones because of the lettering which creates an uneven surface, but they seem to have held. Hopefully they stay on. They look great!
Great little touch with a big impact. Super easy , Area 51 matches great !
The trail sights look great. We'll see the longevity of them.
Okay so far everything I have gotten has been to easy install, even for this 55 yr old grammy how ever these trial sites were a bit tricky they didn't quite want to line up but I took my ti.e and I think they look fantastic I love the look it gave my cyber orange Baby!
Printed Series Trail Sight Overlays V2 - 2021+ Bronco
They look great! Loving the style upgrades on my Area 51 Bronco! Always appreciate the extras in case I mess up on install. Thanks StickerFab!
So far stickers are holding up well. Got the matching hot pepper red color to match the bronco. They did include an extra set of stickers which was a nice addition
Initial concern about ability of trail sight overlays to remain intact with weather. So far heat, cold, and rain have no effect. Tight fit and stick well. Heat may enlarge the overlays and allow stretching, but manageable. Only problem noticed is the raised letters on the trail sights prevent full adhesion of overlay over that area, but still stick well. These provide an excellent visual reference in bold colors.
