Default Looking for some Help!

Posted this on another thread but hoping some guys on the race section may already have what I am looking for...........




Only reason I ask for help is b/c my car is at home today. I am trying to get a sticker made for my back window thanks to a recent development in sponsorship oppurtunity. Anyhow, I need measurements on the window its self. Doesn't have to be the whole window, more less just the width of the window at the top. Or if anyone has a sticker already, what are the measurements of it? Thanks already for any help I get...sorry to bother everyone with a strange request. Just need to get the info over to the sticker folks today. Here is something like I am wanting....this is prolly a members car, stole it from the gallery section........

Rear window is roughly 40" wide by 32" tall between the edge trim.

that's me!! It was a standard "Hankook" windshield sticker that I cut to match the rear window. I can measure it tonight for you.

*it's a little tricky w/ the rear windshield sprayer up there too...I had to use a hari dryer to get the sticker to form around it.

I tried looking for a close up shot, but this is the best I could find:

i was wondering about that the whole sprayer nozzle issue. i figured i would start by just cutting small and working my way out with it. did you spray windex or soapy water down to center it all first or how did you do it?

thanks for the info!!!

steps I did:
-placed sticker over area and cut to size.
-cleaned glass
-sprayed tons of water w/ a small amount of soap onto glass (you don't want the sticky portion of the sticker to adhere to the glass until after you're done placing it on the glass and positioning it
-move sticker into position
-use small squee-gee (or Credit card w/ soft edge) to push all the water/air bubbles out.
-use heat gun / hair dryer to make the sticker form around the windshield spray nozzle...this take some time, but isn't too hard.

hope that makes sense.
