Got my UK flag decal @ cooperaccessories.com. Its GREAT!!
Its static cling, so it's not permanent. It's actually cool to see the flag thru the sunroof above you. It really make my mini stand out...plenty of nice comments from onlookers.
The people @ cooperaccessories.com are fantastic also. Helped me with a problem very efficiently.

I got an American Flag sunroof cover from Cooperaccessories.com at Christmas. I'm waiting till the weather warms up to put it on. Some have had trouble with the static cling flags blowing off.

Hope yours hangs in there.

As long as it is installed properly in warm weather, it will not just blow off while driving. Inspect it after washing to ensure that none of the edges are beginning to peel up.

Enjoy!

Be very careful during the rain, that's when my flag flew away.

If you don't want to wait, a blow dryer will help!

I installed mine properly last summer, and half of it blew off in the rain while at highway speed. I have another one for next summer, and will be securing the edges with double-sided window film tape.

If you live in an area that rains a lot, it might not be a good idea to have cling-on. The water tends to separate the film from the glass. After mine flew away, I'm going with a more permanent one from Cooper Flags. :smile:
