    Had a red check roof on my black corsa, just used loads of soapy water to get them in position a a credit card to squeeze the water out. if there are bit where the vinal look like it might lump/crease use a hair dryer on them and the heat helps you to smooth it flat and shaped to the roof.

    my mate does shrink wrapping to cars id advise you to use sopey water so that you can position them perfectly as you can move them round on sopey surfaces. then let them set so they stick to the roof i was thinking of having green squared on my roof
