Are you cleaning your rear window with denaturned alcohol before you apply the vinyl? Regualr alcohol contains petroleum products, therefore leaves a film. Denatured is free of that. Also after cleaning the area good with Denat. Alcohol, wipe with very clean paper towel or other towel vigoursly. This will remove all traces of ANY wax, rain-x, etc, that might be keeing the vinyl from sticking to the window fully. Then when applying the sticker rub each letter onto the window with moderate to heavy pressure covering the whole letter several times. Then you should have a sticker that stays put from then on. On top of that I don't use my rear window wiper that often. Only when absolutely necessary. That also cuts down the wear on the sticker.

I bought small ones last year but since my wife had accidentally threw them in the shredder
i just went to one of those sticker booths in the mall and got one made.
Try putting yours on top of your back window that might be better
just clean your window real good.

Yeah I don't mind the fee for the stickers also. It does go to a
good cause.
This is a example image edited by Photoshop of what tore, not a exact since I never took a photo of the R.
In fact I am in process of ordering another 2 now, hopefully this time it will stick. But atleast this time I will have a back up in case on hand.
The last time I was driving around with a T4P.ORG sticker..
Currently removed it all, got tired of people asking me what T4P meant.

Same thing happened to me. But after 18 months or so, that's pretty good wear being in the harsh N.E. weather.
I gotta order a couple more: I'm thinking about putting a silver one in the middle of my Canadian bug deflector.

Thai,
Since your offering and he's not taking, can you send a sticker my way? :biggrin2:
I'm on my second sticker and both R's are turning into P's as well.
Don't wanna sound like a cheapass, but hey I wanna keep representing our site as long as I can. Plus the sticker looks COOL on the 4Runner.
