Flat Rock sticker on w/s

[onaccountof]

I've purchased/leased 15 new Ford/Lincoln vehicles from the same dealership (one name change), the same salesman (except for a couple - he retired, so I bought from his son), and they have known since the very first vehicle I bought from them back in 2006 that I will walk away from any new vehicle that I ordered or am purchasing if it has any type of advertising placed on it.

It's really as simple as telling your dealer you don't want any of their badges on the car when you take delivery. That worked for me.

Mine was on there before I bought the car since it was on the lot.

Correct. Unfortunately, sometimes people forget to do that. Sometimes salespersons forget to convey that message to the folks doing the vehicle prep. Sometimes the salespersons do it, but those doing the prep "forget". I actually had this happen at a dealership a long, long time ago. They refused to try to remove the dealership decal because they feared it would damage the paint. I walked away.

My dealership decal was stuck on before I ever looked at the car. I was surprised during the financing meeting they actually offered to remove it for me if I wished, without me even asking. I was like heck yeah!

Mine pulled off fairly easily. I stuck it on a clear piece of plastic and put it my keepsake album for the car.

I asked them to save every sticker that was on the DH when they were prepping it. They did.

I also asked them to NOT fold the window sticker when they took it off. I bought a frame for it from Amazon. Looks great hanging on the wall !!

Me, too! I put together an album for my '66 convertible (inherited from my Grandma) with all of the original paperwork, pictures, etc. Doing the same for my '24 Ecoboost premium.

You'll have it until you have to have the windshield replaced.

I'm proud of it too, but I'd prefer to be proud of it on the door jamb or some other less conspicuous place.

Good tips. Why they couldn't just use a static sticker I don't know...

Probably a UAW demand to make it more difficult to remove the 'union but' off your windshield.
