    OK - ya'll probably know I was rear ended last month. My car's back to me today, looking like new YAY and my detail guys had removed my HOV stickers off the back before replacing the bumper and repairing the rear quarter panel.

    Now, I have three HOV stickers stuck to the back of a plastic card and realize I may not have the best idea to re-affix them. I had planned to get the X-PEL 3M stuff, stick them to the bumper with double-sided tape and then cover over the stickers to the bumper with the XPel stuff.

    Anyone have a better mousetrap?

    NOT AN OPTION!

    I've been w/o my car for a month, and no stickers = a hellatious commute. I need them back on right away.

    :(

    Sounds like you have a plan. I can't think of anything better.

    How did you get stickers for an '07 model?

    Same way as everyone else. DMV.

    Stickers were available thru early Feb, 2007.
    The 2007 models were being shipped and sold in September 2006. There are plenty of 2007 models with stickers! :)

    Dianne, try 3M General Trim adhesive. It sprays on and the glue can be removed safely from the paint if necessary with 3M Woodgrain and Stripe Adhesive Remover.
    Hope this helps.
