  • Air bubbles in decal...

    I've noticed that the Benefit logo decal on the dash has a few air bubbles. I can't be bothered to make another trip back to Citroen if its something easily remedied by myself... Is it something doable at home?

    Could try heating it up with a hair dryer and pushing it out. You could pop it but this might leave a crease. If these don't work then I'd go back to citroen.

      Cheers Oli, so is it sort of like applying screen protectors to your phone? Use a rubbery flat edge to squeeze the bubbles to the edges?

          Exactly. Put a bit of tissue paper or similar over the squegy as it might scratch without.

              Try a razor blade and make a tiny hole in the bubble then push the air out. That what they do when wrapping cars.

                I've used a pin and a tiny hole to remove bubbles in the past from large decals

                  Use a hairdryer to heat the sticker up and then use something like a spatula to push the air bubbles out.
