ABSTRACT:
A method of applying a self-adhesive sticker to a vehicle, which vehicle has a predetermined shaped window opening and a window therein. The method of the present invention includes the steps of first providing a self-adhesive sticker applicator. The applicator has a template portion having an outside shape which closely follows the predetermined shape of the window opening and provides for fitted positioning in the window opening. The template portion has a central opening large enough to allow a sticker to pass therethrough. An applicator portion is attached to the template portion and includes a pressure applying portion which overlies the central opening. The applicator portion includes a sticker attachment portion wherein a sticker or decal or the like may be attached to this portion with an adhesive side facing the central opening. The pressure applying portion is adapted for having at least portions thereof which are pressable through the central opening for pressing the sticker into engagement with the window of the vehicle. A self-adhesive window sticker with an exposed adhesive surface is then provided and affixed to the sticker attachment portion with the adhesive surface facing the central opening. The template is positioned in the window opening such that the adhesive surface is facing the vehicle window and the pressure applying portion is caused to force the adhesive surface of the sticker into the window. Thereafter, the applicator is removed from the sticker and the sticker is finally adhered to the window by hand after being positioned in the window as set forth above.
