Hi All,

Just before putting cover on caravan I noticed a couple of my the Bailey Ranger front stickers were beginning to peel away. Definitely the E.

Does anyone know how or if I can re-stick them back on or do I need to get replacement?

 

Thanks

Phil.

    I doubt if you could re-stick the vinyl smoothly and permanently.  I would imagine that your local Bailey dealer could order replacement decals. The adhesive on your existing decal will have attracted some dirt and the adhesive will have lost some of its adhesion.

    In my experience replacement decals from the manufacturer are very expensive. There are places where they will make some up for you given a photo and dimensions which are cheaper. i gave them a part of the old one as a colour sample. Biggest issue for me was removing all of the old one and then cleaning/preparing the surface for the new. You get one shot at applying it too so make sure they are straight and level.

    Can you not just use supper glue gel on the bits that are peeling and press down with a damp cloth.

    I successfully re stuck the side stripes on my 2014 Lunar Clubman. A few of the pointed ends were peeling off. I put a minimum touch of super glue on where they were peeling, using a pointed tooth pick then gently smoothed down. Looks as good as new and lasted 18 months so far. Good luck.

    Had the same with my Bailey.  New logos are available from Bailey Spares and are not too expensive.
