I love that I searched for “sun strip install” for my ST and this was the first one. Cookies or no cookies, that was a nice coincidence.

KZbin doing it thing 😆

LITERALLY SAME

[@LORDRA1DEN]

I kind of like the idea, but I live in New England, which means lots of snow and ice in the winter, which means cleaning the car off would likely destroy these. I think I'm going to have to try an interior solution since for me it's just to block the sun. Like maybe the window cling shade things whatever they're called, cut to size, or even just in carefully cut strips.

[@2pokeryan]

Yeah the interior solution is just as good. And to be fair it will last a lot longer than the exterior ones.

[@LORDRA1DEN]

@@2pokeryan For me it's just about blocking the sun when it hits that spot around 5pm or so,. The visors don't really help, neither do sunglasses, but a strip right there would. I have some of that window shade cling for inside windows at the apartment I may cut a strip of to use for that. Even if I have to use some clear tape to hold it in place it'll likely make driving less of an issue when the sun is at that spot.

Man, that loud intro made my jump off my chair XD.

[@2pokeryan]

Sorry mate, I have since changed and sorted out all the audio in my later videos.

[@mikeehagues3511]

Spot on brother, got 1 for my VDUB, obviously not a Ford Performance sunstrip lol Mines a blank matt black 1. But sweet little tutorial bro👍

[@2pokeryan]

Thanks mate

[@Kempyyyy]

Just about to install mine, steps seem very clear hopefully I dont mess it up 😂

[@gdlywom]

“Pepformance?” 🤔

[@2pokeryan]

I noticed this after 5 months of it being in the car 😂

[@KarlGaff]

I Googled ford pepformance, thought it might have been a term they used in caf groups or summat 😂😂😂 turns out it's just wrong 😂

[@alrighthenducks]

Pepformance? Is that a typo?

[@2pokeryan]

alrighthenducks haha I have only just noticed that 😂 messaging the guy now saying that it got a p instead of an r well spotted sir

[@alrighthenducks]

@@2pokeryan I tried to fit one on my corsa yesterday, ballsed it right up. They are quite difficult on mine because the glass is quite curved and there is a rain sensor 5 inches down.

[@2pokeryan]

alrighthenducks yeah on my old car I messed the first one up. but placing water under it helps a lot. But with an extra set of hand would so much easier 😂 . And that the thing you have to watch out for is the rain sensor as if that’s cover your wiper blades will keep going off

[@masonpugh3637]

I like the idea that you put it on the outside of the car for fast removal if have to be

[@2pokeryan]

It’s a lot easier to install having it on the out side. And hides the mirror in the middle of the window to.

[@nasserhussain3554]

Helped a lot👍🏼👏🏽

[@2pokeryan]

Thanks,glad it helped.

[@fizb478]

What should we do if bubbles form? Even when pushing them outwards it causes wrinkles. Thanks

[@stance4664]

If you cant manage to push them out, you can take a thin needle and pop them. Result might not be a 100% perfect, but it will look a ton better than having bubbles

[@masonr4293]

Using a heat gun or hair dryer on the high setting can help!

[@ewanbriers3588]

Cheers Ryan

[@ChicaneMedia]

From the front view why does the sides of the sun strip look curved down a little? Is it just because of the window and how it's curved?

[@2pokeryan]

Yeah it’s the way the window is shaped.

[@WCUK2020]

I love your car bro

[@2pokeryan]

Thanks man

Working my way downtown

[@2pokeryan]

With my……. She going to make me a sandwich

[@esseel7896]

Mint. How do i stop it arching in the middle mate? Cut a straight line when its on? Cheers

[@2pokeryan]

If you Sunstrip is pre cut I wouldn’t worry it shouldn’t arch in the middle.

[@esseel7896]

@@2pokeryan its just a parallel edge strip but the screen makes it arch for some reason. bought another ill rip the old one off and try again. cheers again.

[@2pokeryan]

@@esseel7896 you didn’t stretch it by any chance when putting it on ? Only way I can think it did this.

[@esseel7896]

@@2pokeryan no mate it just seems to want to lie naturally in an arc. ill give it another go . determine to get it straight.

[@iXperience]

Isn’t meant to install from inside after you prep the vinyl?

[@martingazi880]

Thx man

[@dandarepaints]

Would using a hair dryer on high heat be as effective as the heat gun? Guessing it's gonna work the same

[@2pokeryan]

Yess it would mate. If anything will be better as you will find it harder to burn the sunstrip

[@POBMTB]

Does it not get rubbed away by the wipers ?

[@2pokeryan]

Eventually over time I’ve still got the same on on and still loook perfect

[@ellis2792]

Lot of MOT places will fail it nowadays if wipers touch sunstrip, best to position it out of the way of wipers

[@danny15yearsago48]

Nice corsa in back

[@2pokeryan]

DA N NY cheers mate it’s 1.2 sxi

[@dylanmaher3752]

What inches do you go down ?

[@stefanidennis963]

About to do mine, wish me luck

[@2pokeryan]

How did it go ?

[@turbojay1616]

Nice

[@User82465]

Ford pepformance ?

[@andybrace4983]

sick bro just need a tickle in the corners

[@apiranawilson]

What does it look like from the insideof the car?

[@2pokeryan]

It’s just black mate. Look good thou

[@evanr4941]

Does it have to be hot outside? It’s cold where we live

[@2pokeryan]

No but could cause the sunstrip to rip if you need to pull it back up.

[@aidan5720]

i typed "how to install a sunstrip" into youtube and a video with the exact same car as mine came up with a guy installing the exact same banner im trying to install came up, im scared

[@2pokeryan]

That is a bit wired. But that perfect for you. As you can see how it looks on the car.

[@snapsnap3920]

Where did you buy that specific one been looking for ages

[@2pokeryan]

Was off eBay mate

[@reubsirvine]

You can get the Ford Performance sun strips of thefordbible.uk

[@Fil0u07]

It's writtens Ford Pepformance

[@2pokeryan]

Shhh 😂😂

[@confidential8738]

Wtf kinda tint is that? Tint goes on the inside of the car lol

[@2pokeryan]

Is the same tint they use for the rear windows. Most window tinting places do it.

[@confidential8738]

@@2pokeryan nah bro... U are supposed to install it on the inside my guy. Cant believe u did a whole video on this lol. All good pimps fuk up too.

[@2pokeryan]

@@confidential8738 this is for the outside mate not the inside

[@confidential8738]

@@2pokeryan ok. I never heard of that. Ill check into it.

[@thomaswalsh1193]

Is it just me or does it say “pepformance”

[@2pokeryan]

Nope your correct it does. I didn’t realise till like 5 months later. Ha

[@jimbo5728]

Curving down at the sides looks sad. Literally. If you cut it correctly, It does not come out that way. Also it is supposed to be applied to the inside. Change title to "How not to install..."

[@Kroonicc]

think youll find sun strips can be on the inside but also the outside there are a billion videos doing this exact thing and thousands of forums discussing this

[@elvisrahimic2274]

does the wipers go over it ?

[@2pokeryan]

Yes
