BannerJohn 1,324 Posted September 30, 2008 It sure could...and it definately will scratch the decal if a bit of sand or a small rock gets under the wiper plade,or if the blade gets worn.... I've had it happen on my own truck. Do it on the inside,reversed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted September 30, 2008 On the inside you more than likely have the defroster to deal with. Would be a pain if you ever have to remove it. If it were my vehicle I think I would still put it on the outside. Rear wipers usually dont get left on like the front do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkdan 3 Posted September 30, 2008 Check your state law on stickers on glass too. In MN it's illegal for a car to have any sticker, any size, on the windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkdan 3 Posted September 30, 2008 The sillier part is still to come. When you go to a state park you have to buy a windshield sticker. It must be stuck on your windshield. It's the law. It's illegal to have a sticker on your windshield. WTF?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SmallSigns 23 Posted September 30, 2008 Doing an inside application is not a problem, unless the glass is tinted like my PT is. I learned that the hard way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twice 0 Posted September 30, 2008 How often does she use the back wiper? Ive never even turned mine on I wonder if it even works... :- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snlsd 1 Posted October 1, 2008 I had a graphic in the back window of my company van. It was perfect since the wiper didn't clear the window very well. Let someone borrow the van and sure enough, they used the rear wiper. Lucky for me it didn't scratch the vinyl to bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
