cedros 984 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 So the police won't be able to tell at a glance that you have renewed. They will have to ask you for proof Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanMexicali 1,069 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Almost nobody sticks them on their windshield anymore anyway that I have noticed. After the vehicle is older they obscure your view and look bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Much more fun to have 10 years worth of stickers on your windshield. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You have to use one of those razor knives that are used to scrape paint off window glass. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cedros 984 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 If you put the sticker on the top of the passenger window behind the driver and only have one sticker there it doesn't really block the driver's view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floradude 257 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I was told they would be available in February. You more easily remove the sticker if you heat it with a hair dryer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

happyjillin 2,048 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Same as last year. There were no stickers for the early birds[January] and they had to go back later to get it. Every year is a new sticker,no if's and's or but's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We have someone pay our registration for us and they usually apply it. Our fault for not checking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alpha1 381 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I always place the sticker on the side windows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johanson 1,004 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 I thought they were supposed to be put on the back side window. Perhaps only on the drivers side of the car. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have some on back,back driver side windows from previous owners and front passenger side, which suggests any window will do as long as it's visible Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We had the sticker but it was in the glove compartment I kept forgetting to put my 2020 sticker on until about May. Then when I went to do it, I saw that the paperwork they had given me, was for someone else. The woman at the desk had obviously handed me the wrong papers. I was afraid it would be a huge hassle to correct, but in fact it wasn't. I had to wait about 20 minutes, but they issued me a new receipt and stickers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
