Creepy rear windshield decal?
 
I tried to google this, and found nothing, so now I find it creepy. My X has a plain green oval sticker on the rear windshield, upper right corner. I've seen similar ones on other cars. They're always a plain solid color, no words or pictures, and always on the upper right corner of the windshield.

Anyone know what this is about? It kind of creeps me out that there's nothing about this to be found on search engines. :dunno:

Have you checked to see if it's adhered by "static cling" (tried peeling it away)? Ditto that an actual & better image along with the one you posted that gives perspective of its location would be beneficial. :)

Consider that it might just be a simple parking decal that specifies a special lot for a local college/university, sports-stadium, club, or parking garage floor for a specific business etc.. See images below of parking decal designs companies/universities use to facilitate their large parking needs:


Examples of Parking Decal Requirements

At the entrance to each parking lot there are signs indicating which type of permit the holder must possess in order to park in that lot. The parking permits and lots are color-coded as follows:

Parking decals are to be placed on the outside of the driver's side rear window
***************************************

Q: How should I display a resident parking decal parking permit?

http://www.myuna.ca/wp-content/uploa...s-no_web-2.jpg

A: Resident parking decal must be permanently affixed to the inside top left corner of the front windshield...see example above. Every effort should be made to ensure that the decal or permit is visible from the outside of the vehicle and it does not block your view.


***************************************


Decal Placement

Vehicles:

Parking decals must be displayed on the left rear bumper (driver's side) or bottom left corner of the rear window of the vehicle where the decal is clearly visible. Parking decals must be displayed on a rearward facing portion of a motorcycle so the decal is clearly visible.
https://online.ciu.edu/ICS/icsfs/DEC...0-dde9cc723bdc

**************************************

Cars parked in lots around Eagle Landing that aren’t designated for student parking will be towed beginning Oct. 1.
Cars with green decals will be confined to the third, fourth and fifth levels of the Eagle Village parking garage, according to an e-mail sent out to students from the Offices of Public Safety, Parking Services and Residence Life. All student cars on the first and second levels, in the surface lot around the garage, and those parked overnight in the Eagle Village development will also be towed.

************************************************** *

Decal Display and Placement
Decals, with the exception of Temporary Permits, are to be affixed to the outside of the driver side rear window/bumper.

if its on the outside of window i would just scrape it off with razor blade, if its bugging you . any vehicle I bought brand new and the dealer puts on their sticker on the vehicle I end up taking it off right away ,bugs the hell out of me ,I hate stickers on any vehicle.

Junkycosmos 01-12-2014 02:54 PM

If it's a sticky and you are looking the remove it a gentle use of a heat gun can help some.

Of course maybe you will decide you like the mystery.

ProfessorX5 01-12-2014 04:28 PM

I want one of those!

racingbmwm3 01-13-2014 01:05 PM

That must be photoshopped because the window is way too clean to be on that dirty X5 ;)
Cool sticker though.
I still like this one.

I held off being a smart a$s figuring you'd post a picture where the sticker was visible.

Seeing as you haven't & you have posted again wtf man? How about a picture of this creepy green sticker?

ProfessorX5 01-13-2014 05:21 PM

Sorry my camera somehow didn't save the pic, will try again.

Scrap it off with a razor blade and any remaining adhesive with Goo Gone ASAP. The sticker means the driver drinks water from the toilet no matter which direction it swirls.

I think it is an internet fail sticker, but I might be wrong...

There's a creepy spider on the hood of my car! What should I do???

Riggodeaux 01-14-2014 02:00 PM

Seeing as its on an "X," maybe its the standard Fox Mulder alien identifier. Didn't it have "illegal aliens" growing green fungus? Come on, ProfessorX5, you are the sci-fi/fantasy writer, you should be telling us, not asking ...

If it looks similar to this, I suggest exchanging insurance info and maybe contacting your lawyer.

ProfessorX5 01-15-2014 10:50 AM

LOL, smartasses. More of a curiosity since I couldn't find anything on this weird sticker. Here's the pic:

Alien twin fetuses? I was right on the X-File reference ....

TerminatorX5 01-15-2014 10:52 AM

i see a PAGODA... weird indeed!!!

ProfessorX5 01-15-2014 10:54 AM

Yeah, couldn't see the pagoda b4. Pagoda are teh creepyness.

e30cabrio 01-15-2014 11:04 AM

Pagoda or tree with birds.

I'm thinking something regional to wherever the X lived before.

ProfessorX5 01-15-2014 11:06 AM

I was hoping for something sinister. ;)

e30cabrio 01-15-2014 11:07 AM

Kaos' new logo?

StephenVA 01-15-2014 11:57 AM

Scrapper......:thumbup:

A drone target.

Peregrin-O 01-15-2014 03:35 PM

My question is, why do you still have it on there?!....
Rip that sucker off or better yet stick it on someone elses' car.

ProfessorX5 01-15-2014 05:17 PM

Drone target. Must be. LOL@ put it on someone else's car. I'd wondered if it was some weird kind of code, since I've seen a lot of Xs and other trucks with oval stickers of a plain color in the same spot. I'll go with drone target, then, hehehe
