Decal Repair or Replacement

[242 checkmate]

Hi. After putting a pin in the decal I did try carefully to smooth the bubble out. The decal was stretched so bad that the bubble won’t lay down. As time goes on from the summer heat it is relaxing but still looks wavy. I also have small bubbles I put a pin in that still aren’t flat. I put the pin in the bubbles a month ago and our camper gets a lot of sun on that side. Good luck and enjoy your summer.

After water came out did you smooth out the decal? I will be sending this into GD but wanted to get it somehow looking a bit better as we are traveling this summer and have no time to take to a dealer for repair.

Thank you so much. Will try that this week.

Your advice worked and looks great, thank again! I waited until the heat of the day warmed up the decal which was not hard to do with high temps in the SE this weekend. A pin prick to the bubbles and smoothing with a plastic spatula. No water came out of big bubbles. I discovered the problem was at edge of roof trim and decal these did hold water. This area needed the decal smoothed out as it was not applied correctly and was wavy and bubbling in this area.

Jim,
The decals have I think a 5 year warranty, but you have to pay for installation. I would get a new decal from GD. Maybe your son could install it. I had one replaced, but mine was under the 1 year.

Hi Steve. Thanks for the information. My son suggested trying the pin idea first, then see what happens. I should get a new one under warranty just in case. We are going to River Ridge the end of July. Our son wants to come home and get his boat. A trip to Hidden Ridge is possible this fall. Nice to hear from you.
