Cooper Flags - can't really see through???

I just had a Union Jack installed on my Sunroof - it came from Cooper Flags - looks fantastic!

I do have a question though, it was just done yesterday and right now from the inside you can see light, but it's not really see through - more like there is a plastic film covering the window. Will that get better as it ages? The shots on their website in the gallery look as though you can see pretty clearly though it.

I'll try to take some shots in the next day or so to show what I mean.

Don't get me wrong - I love the graphic, just wondering.

Thanks!

Yeah. This stuff is like the clear headlight covers/protectors that are put on with an alcohol/water mix. It takes a few days to a week for the cloudiness to go away.

You should contact CooperFlags to be sure but I belive it "cures" in the same manner.

sometimes it can take months before the solution completely evaporates.

Does it have holes? The sample of the moonroof vinyl they sent to me was all "holey", completely perforated with little holes, and was see through like looking through a colander.

I had had a Cooper Flags Union Jack on my sunroof since Novemeber, in addition I have a limo tint on the inside of sunroof. In day time I can see out the sunroof at night it is a little difficult.
