I'm on about my 10th windscreen sticker on various vehicles and campers. They do seem to crack and perish after 12mths in the QLD sun and they really need to be rolled when posted as they don't straighten out. What do others think? Happy to advertise the site and have been since 2004??

Gday
I have had no trouble with my free, printed, bio degradable plastic sticker.

Sorry Michelle, I read the post wrong thinking it was the small round stickers. The small round stickers break up and fall away when washing the car every twelve months .
I am using a round one at the moment as a coaster on my dressing table for my morning coffee , works
well......

Hi TourBoy, that's a shame to hear. Our first one is still on the vehicle and hasn't needed replacing at all. In regards to to packing rolled or folded, have you been following the instructions in the video? Done this way, it applies flat, no problems. See video -
See Instructional video We have happy to replace it of course any time you need a new one. Just let us know - we have plenty! Just put the order through the
shop, free to Members.

Hi Michelle,
Up until 12mths ago they lasted fine for years. I always hang
mine on the fridge to straighten out for a few weeks before use. Even when the sticker appears straight it will crack along the folds after a few months and within 12mths looks quite biodegraded. Maybe your supplier has changed compounds.

Thanks for the
feedback but interestingly enough, we are still on the original batch (we had to order about a million to get the price point viable for giveaways). They are kept in a dark, dry place and stored flat so I don't think its a storage degradation issue either. I do accept that they will break down over time in the sun and with use. If your vehicle is kept outside or does a lot of dirty trips then sure, its not going to last as long as a vehicle kept in a garage. Not sure if that's applicable to you, but just saying. In any case, we are sorry for the inconvenience of needing to replace it each year but we don't mind sending out new ones - free to Members.

No inconvenience, and the one on the camper is 3 years old and looks like new. Less sun I guess. I had a new one delivered last week so all is good ??
