Yamaha decals (I'm sure this has been answered somewhere)

The used Venture I bought had been sitting outside from some time. I rescued it from this fate and and fixing some things. The "venture lite" stickers on the grey plastic panels are shot and I bought replacements. What is the best method for putting the new ones on? I know to use rubbing alcohol where they go but are guys putting on wet or dry? I'd prefer wet as that would give me a little wiggle room for error.

Youtube is your friend! Lots of videos on the subject but this one was really good, uses the hinge method:

Hinge looks like the way to go. Thanks.

Well the method worked well but that dammed grey plastic won't hold onto the sticker even after some serious rubbing alcohol. That sucks!

I've had the same problem with trail passes. Could just be the type of plastic.

Maybe some superglue on the edges? I'd hate to make a big mess though.

Was the plastic warm or was the sled outside? That would definitely cause sticking problems. I'd use super glue as a last resort and very sparingly.

Plastic and sticker were both warm inside the house for several days before application.
