Wasn't sure if this was asked and couldn't find it via search.

I plan on placing a custom decal on my back passenger window, however there's a Lexus Manufacturer sticker in the same location.

Should I or have any of you removed the Lexus sticker by scratching it off? I've attached a pic for reference.

Thanks

Are you talking about the glass stamp with the vehicles VIN?

Maladore

The glass stamp, yes. Does it show the VIN? i havent looked closely at what it actually says.

Ya it should have the VIN. If it really bothers you put black vinyl on top of it and then put your decal on there. I wouldn't try to remove/scratch it out.

I didn't know it had the VIN on that? I was wondering the same also. I have a decal, but it looks like you can't take it off, so I just put it right on top...doesn't bother me anymore.

Ya I think it's like an anti theft measure. So it makes it "harder" for someone to part a stolen car.

I thought they were laser etched or stamped into the glass? It won't be easy to remove.

According to the defensive driving course I just took, the etchings are safety certification for the glass. Removing those is technically illegal, kind of like the tag on a matress that says not to remove.

You can't remove the Lexus stamp on it.

I don't see a VIN in the picture the OP posted at the top of the thread. Nor do I remember seeing my VIN etched on the glass on my car, at least not in a visible location.

No, the VIN's are not etched (at least not in that location from the factory) it's just safety information/manufacturer information about the glass.

Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Can you post a close-up picture of your decal ontop of the Lexus stamp? Do they not interfere with each other?

Definitely not etched. I was able to softly poke at it with my fingernail.

If it's just a safety warning etc i think i will go ahead and scratch it off before placing my decal.

Sorry guys I could have sworn it was on there. My bodyshop guy was complaining about it when swapped my door. I'll have to look at it. Thanks for clarify Jeff
