I wouldn't worry about a decal thief, I am not sure that there are too many of them out there

if it makes you feel any better, op, i just checkered my roof this weekend. i did the individual squares, and since i did it myself, i messed up here and there due to impatience i had the same creases here and there and i think it's somewhat inevitable. however, after doing this myself i think i've gotten the knack of how to do it perfectly and it really does require a LOT of patience and meticulous hands. the imperfections don't bug me as much 'cuz it just looks so good overall! and yours looks pretty good, too

I should have kept my big yap shut. Cooperflags seems to have sent mismatched roof vinyls.

The perforated piece that goes on the sunroof is fine, apparently, but the rest of it will not line up properly. I say "apparently" because my dealer, Rasmusssen MINI, has been kind enough to arrange for the install to happen before I drive down to pick Travis up. 503Motoring.com has been great but they can only do so much when the vinyl isn't right to begin with.

What's worrying is that the toll-free number for cooperflags seems to be disconnected. And their website is not fully operational, either.

Booklady,

I spoke with your installer, and explained the installation process as well as how the graphic is designed.

The roof flag they received is no different then any other roof graphic we produce. After talking with them, it was apparent they have no experience with large graphic installations and had never installed a full roof with sunroof graphic.

Based on our conversation, I was a little concerned with how the final install would look, especially around the antenna mount, and the drip rails along the edge of the roof.

If you get a chance to send a few photos, I would like to see how it turned out.

Please let me know about the website issues you ran into, so we can correct the problem. We discontinued the toll free number several months back, and removed any reference to it, I thought. If it's still listed somewhere, please let me know so others don't have the same problem.

The direct number is 214-755-9116, however, the best way to reach me if via Email.

Thank you,
Ed
