Hey folks,
I want to put a small decal in the oddly shaped rear window in the hatch. Ideally I want to put a white Yankees decal on one side, and a raptors logo (claw) on the other side. First off there's no raptors "claw" logo, can't find one anywhere. I thought I saw a sponsor on here, or someone who does the stickers/decals for TM3. Maybe someone can let me know who this is or if I was dreaming it lol
I saw this yankees one, but its blue, white would be prefered and since I have the tint film on the inside of the car, how would that work?...Didn't think it would, and I see a lot of people have the TM3 decal. After a while, how do they hold up through the winters etc. I wouldn't be too keen on putting a decal on the outside of the car, especially in winter, when you're scraping in the mornings. Knowing me I'd scrape it by accident. Anyways. Here's a link to the yankees one I was thinking of. Any thoughts?

Your tints are on the inside of the window and the decals should go on the outside. Don't take a chance on ruining your tints because of a sport decal. The cost to replace the tins far exceeds what a decal would cost. Put the decal on the outside and just be mindful of it when you go to scrape the glass of ice.

I have a decal on my rear view window on the outside part, had it on since april. Hasn't discolored, pealed, or scrape away at all so i think you'd be fine with putting it on the outside as well.

Yeah, I realize the tints are on the inside, so I guess I wouldn't be able to use those "window clings" rather than the decals (stickers) on the outside. Is that correct?

You didn't dream it. mleblond... Sechemedia.ca
Put the decal on the outside... I have like 5 on various windows. They are fine in the winter. And besides if you are putting them on those little windows why bother even scraping them. Just be careful when you do. They wishstand the wear pretty well.

Very true, I wouldn't need to scrape those windows. Never thought of that lol. I'll send him a PM and see what I can do.
Thanks everyone.

Hey guys, how about putting the decals on in cold weather like now. Is that okay or should I wait until it's warmer. I was also thinking of putting them at the bottom corners on the rear window. I'm thinking the rear wiper might be a problem. Has anyone else done/noticed this? Also the rear defroster as well. Don't know if that would have any effect. What do u guys think?
You should put them on when the car is warm... OR use a blow dryer or something. I have applied vinyl in the cold... just gotta warm it up.
You can put it in the back window, just Try and put it where the wiper doesn't touch the window (if possible).
No, it will not be affected by the defroster... should be fine... You worry too much.
