Hi all! New to forum and looking for advice.
I decided to add the Ram Sports Performance Hood Decal myself and, as the pictures show, all went well except for one crease. Is there any way to correct this or am I destined to pull this side off and install a new one? If that's the case, how do I remove the old decal and clean the hood for a new installation?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Is that the flat black one? Or the carbon fiber like weave one?

Do you have link or part number. This is on my list to do in near future

Ouch!
You could try pinholes & a hair dryer to pull the air out from under the bubbles.
Squeegee might leave scratches.

I do lots of vinyl graphics and heat will be your friend. I would do like NJMOPAR said and use a needle or something to put a pinhole on one end of the crease to give the air inside somewhere to go and then heat it up and slowly try to work it flat. The only other option would be to peel it up past the affected spot and heat it a little and lay it down again. The vinyl may distort so you might have to re trim or reshape the edge

Hey bfill_rebel, it's the flat black one, Mopar part #68276958AB.
I think I will get a new decal and then I'll have a replacement when I damage this one. Thanks for the suggestions.
