   I don't think you have to tell insurance as it won't be classed as a mod, BUT be warned you are 99% sure of failing the MOT as the wipers will go over it.

   Yeah I think that's probably right too.
   
   My honest opinion is don't bother with one mate, probably cause too much bother with police/MOT test stations.

    lol Mate seriously dont do it. Speaking from experience they ruin the car. And yeah MOT failure if wipers go over certain amount of it.

    dont buy them from halfords theyre shite, they have creases in as theyre kind of semi rolled/folded.
    
    go to a signmakes shop and get 2m of vinyl in any colur theyre 2ft wide so you can make 2 snstrips out of it! and it sticks a lot better than the cheap sunstrips you buy.

    i remember fitting mine from a max power mag, it was ok until i added the max power sticker lol
    
    there ok if there roled as you just apply soapy water then put it on and squeegy it or use a credit card, soon smooths it out
    
    then just tuck it under the rubber seal
