jbody sticker fell apart.

I have one on each side from the last batch made. My driver side still looks new but my passenger side vinyl fell apart. Is anyone else having trouble?

Mines still good. I was hoping to order another one but I don't see the store opening anytime soon.

Mine are fine... did you clean the window before you put it on?

If one side is holding up fine and the other isn't i would think the sun was more on one side alot than the other. There are a number of causes that it could be to be honest. If the window was cleaned before install with anything with ammonia (windex), rain-x etc that actually eats the adhesive and vinyl.

I didn't get a chance to make the batch of JBO stickers so i can't tell you what material was used, There is some no name cheap ones out there which might be the culprit. I use 6 and 10 year vinyl at my shop.

Thanks for the suggestions j ppl.

I'm VERY careful with my ice scraper here in ohio. I'm in cleveland too, so snowbelt pelts me every winter. You learn to deal with it. Plus, the chipping is kind of all over the place. Even in the center of some portions. I cleaned both windows the same, but I must admit I did use windex with microfiber.

Anyway I do appreciate you offering to to send me one mike. I may just take you up on that. I have to do something about it.

I'm surprised I'm the only one though it seems.

Any other ideas?

I have never had good luck with decals sticking to the windows on any of my vehicles. So far, the only decal that's actually held up (over a year now) is my genvibe.com one from Grafx Werks. My guess is like JM said, a lot of decals are just made of crappy, low-grade vinyl.

I use Stoners window cleaner before I apply anything, and I've never had a problem with them coming off.

I used Stoner's before applying my genvibe.com decal and, like I said in my previous post, it still looks like it did the day I put it on which was almost two years ago.
