UnionJack sticker wanted - inside on rear window



I´ve started a thread like this a few months ago. I was searching for a union jack sticker.

At the end I´ve found one.


But now there´s another problem.

My babe arrived december 23rd.

Yesterday I cleaned it for the first time. After I´ve finished I wanted to stick the Union Jack onto the rear window.
But,......... the rear wiper reaches up almost to the top of the glass. So the wiper will rub over the sticker every time it´s in use.


All in all I have to start searching for a Union Jack once again.

I "need" one which will be mounted from the inside on the window.
Sorry, I don´t even remember the german term for this type of sticker. So I´m not able to take a look in a dictionary. Shame on me.


I hope you understand me.


So, please help me.

In the US there called static stickers. There the ones that have no glue and go on the inside of a window.

Doesn't that style have problems when you put the rear window defroster on?

AH! Now it makes sense. i thought the UJ would be the full size of the rear window. Seems like we are talking smaller - hence the concern about the sweep of the wiper if it's on the outside

Guess people are just not as patriotic as they once were

as long as it's stuck well down the wiper shouldn't be a problem. I've had stickers on the outside of rear windows before - the wiper arm doesn't exert much pressure. Just make sure the window is absolutely clean & dry before applying

Thanks to all of you.


@ Hat:

Hm, perhaps I´ll try to stick it up on the outside.

The worst thing could be a damaged sticker. And as I don´t have another place for usage;..... I´ll go for it.





But if anyone out there knows where to buy small Union Jacks to stick up on the inside,........let me know. Please.

I also am in search for a Union Jack static sticker to go in the left rear side window. One would think this would be easy to find. But no. I have searched all over on the internet. I just want one that is approx 3x5" or so. Don't really want one that sticks on the outside. I would much prefer the type the goes on the inside. Anyone know where to get one? I guess if I can't find one, I will just have to make a trip to England :-)

Sorry, not a union jack, but, might be worth a look for someone:-

I know the auction ended, but, i get the feeling that there will be more

Wow, thanks for all the links! That was great of you. I am actually looking for the kind of sticker that isn't really a sticker but a static cling thing that goes on the inside if the window. But I will definitely consider some of the stickers you sent as a back up in case I can't find the other type. Thanks again!
