Has anyone installed their own Avanlanche windshield graphic. I am about to tackle this job this weekend and the only one I know with one is Goo and he had his put on for him. I am looking for some tips before I mess it up!

I little spray bottle with a tiny bit of soap mixed in with the water. ?This will alow you to move it around a little bit without it totally adhearing. ?Use a squeege or straight edge of some type to smooth out any bubbles.
Once I get mine next week I'm going to take measurements of the decal and make marks on the windshield of where it should go to be centered.
Good luck

If my memory serves me, it comes with the plastic blade. I believe there was even a mark on the Decal indicating the center.
You guys must be looking over my shoulder at the instructions that came in the box! There is a plastic tool in the box and it says to use soapy water lightly sparyed on the glass and yes the decal is marked with a center stripe. It all seems so easy! 
Hope it goes as easy as it sounds!

Now 
all you need to do is rig up the rope and pulley system to hang over the truck for the install!

My installer at the dealership used my sunroof
Man -SUNROOF ACCESS - why didnt i think of that? I am supposed to be the mechanic. O well thanks again Goo.
NO thanks....I've attempted to do my own tint jobs in the past as a kid and they always looked gross.....I will leave that up to the service boys.....I ordered mine a few weeks ago...and I'm waiting to go in for service so they can put it up then.... 
Yes ... sands611. It installs on the outside. It really wouldn't show up behind that tint at the top.
Well the install went well - actually put it one one side (half) at a time standing on the running boards. It was easy and looks great. I have another one for a give away at the (what shall be called) The Great Texas Cruise on Dec 1st and I have one to give away at a later meet. One I bought my self to give away and the other donated by Houston Chapters sponsoring Chevy dealer
Pics will follow after this weekends Houston Chapter meet.

You know if you take Goo's number of posts and drop the last number I have the same as he does.

Well I switched trucks with my buddy whose family owns the dealership yesterday.
(It's just GMC, Pontiac, & Buick or else I'd have them hooked up with the site.)
He gave me his 2003 Sierra Z71 while he has his guys put on my windshield decal ?
I really like this Sierra. ?It has all the nice little quirks that the Escalade has. ?That computer display for about 25-30 different statistics & options. ?
Dual electonic display climate control. ?All controls including the computer stuff on the steering wheel.
Definitely a good hook-up.
Especially since I'm getting the decal, install, and a wash for free
