   • Align the rainproof film with the outer surface of your helmet visor.
   • Stick the film down the center first, then smooth it out firmly towards the sides using a squeegee or soft cloth to remove air bubbles.
   • Peel off the blue film labeled '2back' if present, revealing the final rainproof layer.

If you encounter issues with your HJ-26ST Pinlock Shield or applied films, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Persistent Fogging:
  • Ensure the Pinlock insert (if used) is properly seated and sealed against the visor.
  • Check if the anti-fog film is correctly applied to the inner surface without air gaps.
  • Clean the inner surface of the anti-fog film gently, as residue can reduce effectiveness.
• Water Streaking/Poor Rain Repellency:
  • Verify the rainproof film is applied smoothly to the outer surface without bubbles or lifted edges.
  • Clean the outer surface of the rainproof film. Dirt or oils can impair its hydrophobic properties.
  • If the film is old or damaged, its effectiveness may diminish, requiring replacement.
• Reduced Clarity/Distortion:
  • Ensure both the shield and any applied films are clean and free from smudges or scratches.
