Tips? Installing harley saddle bag lid protective film
Hello, just purchased a set of the Harley saddle bag protective film covers. Reading through the instructions it seems very tedious. It says to mix a solution of water and baby shampoo and a solution of water and rubbing alcohol. The soap solution for getting it in place and the alcohol solution for locking it in place. Just looking for some tips or shortcuts on the install. Thanks

I have installed 4 of these kits, 1 for myself and 3 for my buddys. Read the instructions carefully and follow all the steps, any shortcuts will show up in the end result. When installed correctly most wont even notice its there, rushing the process or taking shortcuts and most WILL notice its there.

Best advice I can offer is, make sure your fingers are really clean, use the alcohol to clean them, dont attempt it out side in the wind or direct sun,use plenty of soap and water solution, have plenty of clean lint free towels on hand and dont use a credit card or similar to smooth out the film and work out the water underneath, use a rubber squeege ( the same type used to apply window tint film) and take your time. Good Luck!

Make sure your hands are very wet with the solution before touching the film or it will leave fingerprints.
Be sure to do the work in a well lit area. It wouldn’t hurt to have a helper double check for bubbles as you squeegee.
Watch a few YouTube vids to get an idea how it works.
I would recommend just installing the film to the tops of the lids, at least initially. The top of the lids is where most of the protection is needed and although it is hard to see it is not invisible. A week or two later you can decide if you want to install the other pieces of the film.
