that is how they all come, bit of a pain to fit, but take your time and it will be fine..

i got mine from volkswagenstickers.co.uk and the fit is pretty damn good!!

ah thanks Richie!!!!

Will do, you also have to take the rear window and seal out don't you?

sure do matey, but it is not that difficult to do..
make sure you use plenty of lube..

and bottom section first, then sides and lastly the top bit.. job's a goodun!

i tried with 2 but static messed one and the wind claimed the other so i painted it mat black and no one noticed they are amaised when i tell them .

Replace these with the window out and apply in order given above.

The BIG secret is to get half a bucket or a bowl full of Very CLEAN warm water and dump a smidgen squirt of washing up liquid in it (Fairy Liquid - its better for your hands init????)

Now sponge the slightly soapy water all over the bottom of your boot lid and apply the bottom piece.  That way you can slide it properly into the correct position….it will NOT stick to the boot lid immediately giving you plenty of time slide it around to adjust its position. If it starts to stick and you're not happy with its position, peel it off gently - it should come off quite easily - and add more soapy water.  If OK sqeegee the water/bubbles out from under the vinyl with a wad of Kitchen Roll or a towel (don't tell the wife/mother….).  Don't try too hard to get rid of all the "lumps"..rest assured they will disappear as the soapy water evaporates (and it will!).

Then do left then right pieces likewise and finally the top piece. Each upper piece should slightly overlap its lower neighbour by about 5mm…that way you don't get a gap if the sun shines (AS IF) and shrinks the vinyl a tad….the pieces should be designed to overlap slightly so don't try and butt joint them

When all is dry (about a day this time of the year), you will be able to fold the inner exposed edges of the vinyl over the edge of the window aperture and then refit the rear window…job done

Trimsport do a very satisfactory reproduction of the vinyl stickers - don't forget there should an additional strip across the back of the hatch just above the lower edge
