The process of detaching a vehicle’s validation decal from its designated placement, typically the windshield or license plate, involves specific techniques to prevent damage and ensure a clean removal. This task is often undertaken when the sticker is expired, when a vehicle is sold, or when replacing a windshield.
Properly executing this action offers several advantages. It prevents the accumulation of multiple stickers, which can obstruct visibility or detract from a vehicle’s appearance. Furthermore, in some jurisdictions, failure to remove expired decals may result in minor penalties. Historically, simpler adhesives were used, making removal easier; however, modern adhesives require more deliberate methods.
