What Are Rear Window Graphics?

What Are Rear Window Graphics?

Rear window graphics (also known as perforated car window decals) are specialized decals designed for the use on the rear and side windows of your vehicle. These decals are made using perforated vinyl, meaning that tiny holes called micro punctures are punctured into 50% of the material. This allows the design on the decal to be visible from the outside and see-through from the inside. Using rear window graphics is a great way to advertise your business or show off a custom design while still maintaining clear visibility when looking out your vehicle’s windows.

Custom rear window graphics are commonly used to cover the entire rear or side windows on cars, trucks, jeeps, vans, commercial vehicles, semi trucks, and any other type of vehicle that has windows.

One-Way Vision

Using rear window graphics and signs is one of the most effective and safe ways to advertise your products, services, or business on your vehicle. When using other decals, they tend to obstruct vision and can even lead to unsafe driving. Rear window graphics allow you to display large messages and still maintain full visibility of your surroundings.

Selecting the Best Size and Design for Your Perforated Car Decal

1. When measuring the size of your car or truck window, be sure to measure the largest width and height to ensure that your sign will cover all areas of the window.
2. Order your graphic 2” wider and higher than the length of your window. This allows room for trimming and will ensure that you order a size large enough to cover the entire window. For example, if your window is 50” x 20” order a decal that is 52” x 22”.
3. When designing your custom rear window graphic, place your design/image/graphic in the center of the decal to make sure it will not be affected by trimming.
4. In order to maximize the visibility of your decal, be sure to use as much contrast as possible between the background color and your design. For example, if you use a light background with a light design or lettering it may be difficult for others to see. Or if your decal is very dark and is placed on any sort of tinted window it may appear washed out. Thus, design and intended surfaces should be considered when creating your graphic.

Simple Installation with No Professional Help Required

Installing your rear window graphic is a simple and straightforward process that does not require any professional help. A set of instructions will be included with your order to assist you. You may also view the installation instructions below or download the installation instructions PDF just below the instructions.

Please Note: This is not a decal meant for wet install, so please do not use any water on the decal or window when installing.

Clean your car window, removing all dirt and grime from the surface. Allow the window to fully air dry before proceeding.

Lay out your decal on your vehicle’s window with the backing still on and make sure it is aligned properly and that you’ve ordered the correct size.

Pull the decal away from the window and remove the backing, exposing the black adhesive side of the decal. If the backing appears to be tearing when removing it, this may be because you are not removing all layers of the backing. When removing the backing, you should be able to see the back of the graphic, which is black.

Place the graphic back onto your vehicle’s window, making sure it is aligned with the markings made previously. Begin to apply to the window, using a squeegee* or flat edge. Start from the center of the graphic and work your way towards the outer corners.

Once you have applied the entire decal to your window, remove the excess material around the edges using a razor blade. Be sure to use caution when doing this to avoid damaging your vehicle’s window or paint.

Care

Care

Perforated car decals are safe for manual car washes and will stand up to most exterior elements. Avoid automated/automatic car washes and power washers when washing your car. To extend the life of your decals, avoid parking in direct sunlight for extremely long periods of time. Remove dirt and other buildup regularly with a damp, non-abrasive cloth to keep adhesive strong.

Q:
Does installation require more than one person?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Yes. Perforated car decals are typically larger and installation on a car window can be difficult to do alone, so we recommend that all decals are installed by 2 or more people. This makes the installation process significantly easier and will help you end up with a better looking decal!
Q:
How do I store my decal?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:
Prior to installation you can store your decal in one of two ways. You can roll it and store it rolled or you can lay it flat. If the former, make sure not to place any heavy objects on top of the decal as it can cause permanent creases. Either way it should be stored in a dry location at room temperature.
Q:
How do I clean my decal? Can I wash my window or vehicle with the decal installed?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

Your decal should be washed regularly. To do so use a wet or damp cloth that is non-abrasive to gently wipe away any build up on the decal. This will help retain the transparency of the decal and the vibrancy of the printed design.

While your decal is installed you should not use power or pressure washers at home nor take your car through automatic/automated car washes. The power of both of these methods can be significant enough to cause the decal to start to peel away or to rip the decal right off the window.

Q:
How do I remove my decal? Will it leave behind a huge mess and lots of residue?
Asked a year ago by Signs
A:

To remove your decal simply pull the decal away from the window. A sharp edge that won’t damage the window itself can be used to help peel it away. Usually no residue will be left, but when the decal is aged or has been exposed to extreme conditions, some residue may be left behind. In these cases most standard cleaners and a scrubbing will remove it.

Difficult to remove decals come off easier when heated up. This can be accomplished by parking in the sun before removing it or even heating up the window with the car’s heat or a blow dryer. Though having to do either of the latter is rare and a last resort option for a decal that may have been in place for years.

Q:
the rear window on my car curves. after installing the decal the lettering curves downard at the edges. is there a way to avoid this in the future?
Asked 6 months ago by Kim W.
A:

Start by applying the decal from the center and work your way outward. This helps to push out any air bubbles and ensures a smooth application, especially on curved surfaces.
