Are others experiencing the difficulty I'm having gettitng the new NJ inspection stickers to stay stuck to the windshield in hot weather. They strike me as being terribly badly designed. I'm talking of the kind with the big paper month number in the middle. Any comments ? Ken Cochran hrpd3!ken hr1ar!ken

Any comments ? > Just a guess, but if your sticker was last on the passenger side of your winshield and now you've got it on the left side there is probably a buildup of dirt &/or grease in that spot. Remember that the original sticker went on a brand-new winshield that was clean, and that the subsequent sticker went on a spot that had a sticker scraped off of it. This leaves a good base for adherence. Try cleaning the spot for the sticker with a grease-removing glass cleaner before applying a new sticker.

Mine started unsticking from the bottom, the day it was put on. It is now hanging on by the top quarter. That is since early May so I don't think the temperature has much to do with it. -- -- {ihnp4|vax135|allegra}!lznv!nrh Nigel The Mad Englishman or The Madly Maundering Mumbler in the Wildernesses Everything you have read here is a figment of your imagination.

I agree that the new inspection stickers are bad news. Mine is presently sitting on my dashboard. The state decided it could save money by not printing stickers with the month on it, using a cheap paper month insert on a yearly generic sticker. The question I have is: What is the "approved" method for reattaching the stickers that will not upset the inspectors next year? Doug Donohoe ihnp4!hound!5113dd

Not only is the adhesive bad, but the number fades into invisibility in two months! Herman Silbiger

I got my NJ inspection sticker at the end of June. Now I can barely see the number 6.
