ahahaha there are 3 shapes/clearance shapes (see here). A friends of mine in Japan translate for me.
You must align them with weather line of window. You see two arrows in shape that fit correctly to protective film on stripes when you remove them from package. The other side go near weather line.

Around two cms from upper border of car door (not weather line).

Basically you start from the stripe near fender and follow. I remove mirror folder (I suggest to all).
The clearance shape must be aligned with border to upper first line of stripe.

You need water+soap, around 18/20C°. Clean surface very well with IPA.

The opposite side of car door: sticker must end at 85 mms of car door border.

no, it's not mandatory as you are provided with two alignment shapes along stripe. The third needs for short stripe (fender side). Believe me , it's harder to explain rather to do, very easy.

Hm, ok, 1.3 insted of 1.1

If there is really a difference to the radiator Caps in holding more pressure

then..... it would be interesting how much difference the Caps have

weight !

It would be nice if someone can do that and give us the

weight from the original Radiator Cap and the STI Radiator Cap.

Let´s see if the STI Cap is " Stronger" Build and is minimal heavier

from material cause of the "higher" 1.3 pressure-proof
