This applies to the outside of a car window, or is it reversed? And I rub the front, peel the paper, put on the window, peel plastic?

It goes on the outside of the window. You rub the front to make sure the characters are firmly attached. Peel the paper, put it on the window, rub it to make sure it sticks then peel the plastic. Works best in warmer weather and a very clean window is must.

It would be better to place it on the window instead of a bumper. Cold weather will effect the sticker on a bumper since most vehicles are made of thermoplastic. Since I placed it on my window I had no problems so far.

I have mine placed on the outside of my tinted window and it's holding up great here in the Pacific Northwest with it's infamous wet weather. I think that if you use an adhesive remover like "Goo Gone" to remove the sticker, you shouldn't have any problems.

You can see through it and move it around anywhere. I have never put it in the windshield but it works great on side windows.

I believe it says to do it on the inside. I'm sure you could do it on the outside, but when I used it, I used the seal on the inside. It does work as advertised. I will say, I had to work a bit to get it off in the spring though. I think this year I am going to use this but I'm still going to use the plastic on the windows. I still felt the coldness, but it's probably because the windows in my apartment are just really old.

I do have tint on the rear windows, I did not roll the windows up and down however. The plastic tabs that seat in the window jam tended to come out on their own so if the window was rolled up and down it would definitely have caused the cargo guard to fall off. Seeing how hard the tabs are, it is my opinion that they would easily scratch the tint, I would not recommend rolling up and down.

I would think it would be fine on Plexiglass. Check the manufacturer'so web site to be sure. But I don't think it would be good on the outside of the window, because it uses water to adhere to the glass. I would be concerned that rainwater would cause it to peel off if it were applied outside. Why not apply it from the inside? I think you will still get a nice effect.

The outside of windows must be very clean, an I find I have better luck attaching them in warmer weather. Use your hand to smooth out all the bubbles between the sticker and the glass. If the sticker has gotten oily from your hands, wash that too. Good luck. The things work, once you get them attached to the window!

It should peel right off...I personally hated these. ..they didn't last long on my windows...

I suppose you could technically apply it to the outside, but it would not last nearly as long, because of the exposure to weather. I have been installing this type of film for over 30 years, and I have never seen anyone install it on the outside of the window.

yes it's a clear plastic backing on the side that sits against your window.

I assume by laminated you mean an aftermarket tint film applied to side or rear windows. If that's the case the answer is yes, that's simply a film over tempered glass which is designed to shatter and the film might actually keep the mess down to a minimum. If you mean the real laminated glass like that used in front windshields the answer is emphatically no. Windscreens/Windshields are made of at least two sheets of glass which sandwich a strong clear plastic material meant to protect occupants from injury in the event a crash or foreign object striking it.

yes, I would think so, the adhesive on the backs of the decals are like super postit note or painters tape. They decal wont look the same on the other side of the glass when looking at it from behind. Not sure if "heat" on the window would weaken the adhesive.

I have read other users used a hair dryer to warm the plastic to "iron out" the wrinkles , I have not tried it, I left my windshield on mine, so I keep the front rolled down.

If you are referring to the front windows, I would have two suggestions. #1 Run your finger inside the window channel, pressing firmly on the back part (opposite side of the tape). I had to press extremely hard to make sure there were no gaps between the tape and the molding it attaches to. #2 On the front tip of the window guard, make sure it is firmly seated behind the trim piece for the mirror. That is was caused my windows to rub the guards, once I adjusted that, it got alot better. However, the back rain guards always rubbed a little. Hope this helps.

There are 2 layers. Peel one off...and then place it onto the area u want...rub it good with a dry rag. After you feel u have really got it stuck to the window then you peel off the 2nd layer. Hope that helps

It has to go on the outside of the window. It is a "rub on" sticker. So you position it and then rub and peel. The sticky side would necessitate that you put it on the outside of the window. It was a little bigger than I expected but it is a great design and holding up well.
