One inch from the A post.
One inch from the windshield bottom.
Peel the back of the decal and apply the tip only to the windshield for the correct distance as the decal should look fairly horizontal and not as to follow the curvature of the windshield bottom.
You can check the perfect fit from the outside before pressing the whole decal, and of course you press from the center out in order to avoid any creases.
Good luck.
