i decided that i wanted to put a windshield banner on my truck and well it didnt work out too well. bought it at advanced auto parts you know one of the ones that have the red bowtie in the middle with the checkered flag look fading away to the outside. well i went to put it on and i couldnt get it to work ended up throwing the thing away cause i strched the bowtie and it looked like crap. can anyone help me out here i cant for the life of me figure out how to get the decal to curve along the top edge of the windshield.

You don't curve it, you trim it to fit the curve.

its not wide enough to do that. laying it down to trim it would make the bowtie be half on the roof half on the windshield.

Does it show it's possible to curve it? If it's not cut on an angle then I don't see how you'd curve it without getting wrinkles in the vinyl. The best person to ask this would probably be Luis (Unlimitedsp) though. He does his own vinyl cutting, so I'm sure he would be able to give you some tips.
