Looking at some of the answers, I am looking for a resolution that looks half professional.....using scotch tape or just tucking it into hte bottom is not going to look very good really is it!!

Go to your local hardware store. Buy a quart (or smaller) bottle of Acetone and a razor blade. Get some ruber gloves and some paper towels at the same time. Put on the gloves, use the Acetone on a paper towel, then scrape it off with the Razor. Glass won't be hurt by razor blades. The acetone, in addition to working on the sticker, will dissolve the sticky adhesive on your window. It's about the only thing that works 99 44/100% of the time, otherwise you'll be fighting the gooey mess the adhesive leaves behind. Alcohol, paint thinner, etc, won't work. It's a harsh chemical, but ost glues are DESIGNED that acetone will wipe it out. For the remnants of the glue (there's always some left behind), another paper towel with acetone will remove 95% the first, time, and the remaining 4-5% on the 3rd try. (most of these windshield sticker glues are NASTY!!!) It WILL come off, but it sometimes makes you growl until your window is clear. OK. Now for the warning. IF... you have tint on the inside where the stickers are, it will fubar your tint... so get hold of your local cool auto accessory joynt b4hand to have your damaged area retinted (if this is the case). But... make sure they do it right. I have a TX car I had to have redone twice because the place I went in Oakland CA were idjits. They made right, tho... but don't take a 1/2 a$$ed job. OK? Oh... NEVER let someone put stickers on your wheels. NEVER!!! It's YOUR car, your ride, your "temple"... ;) But the acetone trick... I guarantee... works. If they're ancient (like applied 5+ years ago) you MAY have to take steel wool (I use stainless scruby pads) to it to break the sticker bond after it's cooked to your window. Bt either way, acetone WILL kill 9% of any adhesive. Paint section, Lowes/Home Despot/Ace Hardeare/Your local hardware store, in the PAINT section. Good luck!

Will the sticker will fit into the plastic stick-on tax-disc holder? Or, how about trying a piece of 'laminating film' (something like a thicker version of cling film) cut out larger than the sticker - and used as backing? Just a wild thought, hope it helps!

3-M Paint protector would work. It is a clear film that has adhesive on it that you could stick the sticker to on the adhesive side then stick the film to the window. NASCAR uses something similar on the front of their cars to keep the stickers (headlights,emblems, etc.) from blowing off.

Cut thin strips of 'Double Sided Tape' & put along the front top, bottom & sides, or 'Scotch' do a spray on adhesive which might work.

Just tape the corners on the inside of your window, you should be able to see it from the outside. Good Luck!! : )

You can try a very thin film of clear silicone and a nice spreader. The sticker will not be reusable after.

A very light smearing of watered down PVA glue will dry transparent and will be pretty much invisible. It'll come off easy with some hot soapy and a bit of scrapey scrapey.

They have double-sided tape, or you can just tuck the bottom into the base of the window.

Tape it to the inside.
