Reapply a new static sticker or use some double-sided tape to stick it on. Below are several methods for attaching the motor vehicle inspection compliance sticker: Direct Application: Peel off the sticker directly and place it on the upper right corner of the front windshield. Static Sticker: Many insurance companies provide static stickers when you purchase insurance, usually giving three at a time. The advantage of using these is that they can be easily removed without leaving any marks.
My static cling sticker isn't sticking anymore, a problem I've encountered quite a few times. The main reason is the accumulation of dust or grease on the surface, which causes the static electricity to fail. I usually start by gently wiping both the adhesive side of the sticker and the smooth surface where it's to be applied with a damp cloth or wet wipe to remove any dirt. Then, I let it air dry naturally or quickly wipe it dry with a clean cloth, making sure no moisture remains, as any residual water can further reduce adhesion. If it still doesn't stick, I try rubbing the sticker with a clean cotton cloth for a few seconds to reactivate the static electricity, which often works well. For stickers that are too old or severely aged, I either flip them to use the other side or replace them with new ones to avoid inconvenience. As a preventive measure, I make sure to keep my static cling stickers dry and clean, avoiding exposure to humid kitchens or greasy areas, and regularly wipe them with a dry cloth. This significantly extends their lifespan and prevents the issue from recurring.
