Troubles With Window Stickers

Does anyone elce have window stickers? I have a ACURA one across the top of my windshield and it seems like everytime i "hand" wash my car, the edges of the letters will peal up...and im being REALLY carefull too!! anyone elce have problems and know how to fix them? Im really getting tired of trying to keep them stuck down but i dont want to have another one custom made.

PS: i DID put rain-X on my windshield 1 yr before i got my decals....but ive had my decals for over a yr now also...and only the ACURA one on the front is pealing.

It's your car man, it doesn't what that sticker on. Do your car a favor and take it off. The CL probably thinking the "sticker look it look ricey"

Get Ross to make you some. I have custom stickers that I got him to make and they are top notch. I'm sure he can also make your 5" front mount windshield deflection sticker too.

It's probably the adhesive on the vinyl. you can get a huge variety of adhesives, they may have used the cheaper one. Also, the more sharp points you have on a decal the easier it is going to peel off. "No decal ever fell off from the center out" If you had small rounded corners that would help too.

TO KC CL 1785 : Acutally 97AcuraCL has the same kind i do, "except his says Team Ground Zero"...so im not the only one.

TO 1GenCL : Acutally one of the main resons i got is was cuz EVERYONE asked how i did the headlight conversion on my Accord. It got soooo annoying! People are soo stupid...but besides, i like it. It makes my cl look better i think.

If 20 people tell ya it looks tacky and ricey .... then chances are it does. But hey its your car, do as you please, Atleast you have a good reason.

I once saw this guy with a Navigator that had 22's and he actually but the tire size on his Windshield like that. Something like 265/55/22. Talk about shallow and superficial.
