Check your box
Confirm Sky Q Mini on the order, rather than another Sky Q box. Identify the pieces in your selected coverage.
Power down
Switch off, unplug and let the box cool. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning advice and keep moisture away from openings.
Prepare your space
Use clean, dry hands and a stable surface. Watch the video first with your supplied instructions nearby.
Fitting your Sky Q Mini skin
Use the video for exact positioning and order. Only fit the intended exterior surfaces.
-
Check the alignment
Compare panel edges and connector cut-outs before pressing. Do not stretch the vinyl to reach a different edge.
-
Smooth progressively
Follow the backing-removal method shown and work across the surface gradually without repeated lifting.
-
Finish shaped areas
Use gentle warmth only where instructed. Do not use a heat gun or overheat the box.
-
Check the openings
Keep vents, connectors, controls and indicator areas unobstructed. Check the edges before reconnecting.
Installation questions
Can the skin cover the vents?
No. Fit each piece only to its intended surface, leaving ventilation and functional openings clear.
What if an edge lifts or does not align?
Check the box version and piece orientation before adding pressure. See our troubleshooting guide or send a photo.
