Windshield Decals
Answers to popular questions about custom windshield decals.
Can windshield decals be applied to the back window?
Yes. Many people install windshield decals on the rear window of their vehicle instead of the front windshield. This is a popular option for displaying larger designs, business names, or club logos while maintaining full visibility through the front windshield.
How long do windshield decals last?
High-quality vinyl windshield decals can last several years depending on sun exposure, climate conditions, and vehicle care. Proper installation and occasional cleaning can help extend the lifespan of the decal.
Are windshield decals legal on cars?
Windshield decals are commonly installed as a banner along the top portion of the windshield. Many regions allow decals in this area as long as they do not block the driver’s view. However, laws vary by state and country, so it’s always best to check local vehicle regulations before installing a windshield banner.
Are windshield decals the same as windshield stickers?
Windshield decals are sometimes called windshield stickers, but they are slightly different. Stickers are printed with a full background, while windshield decals are precision cut from solid vinyl so only the design remains. This creates a cleaner banner-style appearance when installed on the glass.
What size windshield decal should I choose?
The ideal size depends on the width of your vehicle’s windshield and the style of banner you want. Many windshield banners span most of the top width of the windshield while leaving space near the edges for visibility. Measuring your windshield before ordering helps ensure the best fit.
Will a windshield decal damage the glass?
No. Vinyl windshield decals adhere securely to glass but can be removed without damaging the surface. If adhesive residue remains after removal, it can usually be cleaned with rubbing alcohol or adhesive remover.
Can I install a windshield decal myself?
Yes. Windshield decals are designed for easy installation using transfer tape. The transfer tape keeps the lettering aligned while applying the decal to the glass. Once installed, the tape is removed leaving only the vinyl design behind.
What surfaces do windshield decals stick to?
Windshield decals adhere best to smooth glass surfaces such as vehicle windshields and rear windows. They can also be applied to other smooth surfaces like glass doors or windows if a banner-style graphic is desired.
