Default Protecting paint from decal sticker

Is there anything anyone recommends to ensure a decal sticker won't harm the paint once removed?

I hate so badly that instead of those parking passes that can be hung on the reviewer mirror my workplace is using stickers. frick.

You can't just put the sticker on the glass?
I haven't really heard of a decal damaging anyone's paint though. At least not if its removed properly.

They have stupid restrictions on location of the sticker. It sucks.

But thanks for the info.

if your that worry, you can get the paint protection vinyl and place it in between the sticker and your car.

I bet some places are willing to give out free small square samples of the material for you to test; your parking sticker might be small enough to fit onto the sample. Aerotect before mailed me a 2 by 2 square inch of the 3m carbon fiber vinyl for me to sample before I bought a big sheet from them, I don't know if they are still doing this.
