i dont have the bluebats overlays but this is what i did with mine..clay bared the roof..then washed only the roof with dishwasher soap which is a degreaser and will remove wax..then right before the install i wiped down the entire roof and crevices where the overlay will fold into with rubbing alcohol to make sure theres no wax or grease on the roof...the more hands the better..i did it with me and my friend..if we had a 3rd person it would of been better...i also installed it with the sunroof open and then cut it out and folded it into the sunroof so when im in the car and the roofs open u see black and not the color of the car..we made it pretty tight over the sunroof and placed a little weight on it and heated it slightly so it would sink into the car then made the cuts, this was done after all other cuts were made and the overlay was completely dry, use a blow dryer not a heat gun(heat gun puts out waayyy too much heat)..we layed the overlay on the hood and soaked it then picked it up and flipped it onto the roof and began working it..my overlay was one solid sheet//when i bought mine bluebat had a 2 peice roof overlay and i didnt want the seem other wise i would of bought his..hes got good quality stuff...doo little spirts of heat if needed with the sunroof..dont hold it there too long as u may destroy it..ull see when u get to that part

 

thanks guys! great advice..will hopefully be applying this weekend

 

Good luck! I failed miserably doing my tails. Hopefully you are more patient than me.

 

mine took 3 hours so plan on working atleast 4 since the friend that helped me is very experienced in roof overlays

 

My Roof Overlays are ONE PIECE NOW .
