Tools and supply: Carbon vinyl or whatever vinyl you prefer. Sharp scalpel or craft knives set. Heat gun or powerful hair drier.
Be sure your laptop is clean and dry.
Carefully peel the vinyl off the backing and position in the centre of your notebook. Attention - for some types of vinyl, the backing must be peel off the vinyl (970 series)!!!
Work across it with your hands to remove air bubbles. For 970RA (Rapid Air) it's easier, no bubbles at all.
Heat the vinyl around the edges to soften it and carefully stick it down. Apply a bit more heat on the corners and pull it harder to avoid creases.
With your fingernail find the join in the lid case. Carefully run your knife down this joint and remove excess vinyl.
Take care, remember scalpels and craft knives are very sharp. Always cut away from the body.
