The state Department of Motor Vehicles today said that some of its 2010 inspection stickers and registration stickers are not sticking to vehicle windshields.
The DMV’s common sense solution: Reaffix any defective sticker to the vehicle with tape or other adhesive.
Several customers complained to the DMV about the problem.
The agency notes “only a fraction of stickers have the potential to fail and not all are susceptible to not adhering.”
“We recognize the issue of inspection and registration stickers failing to adhere to vehicles is an inconvenience to our customers,” DMV Commissioner David Swarts said in a statement. “We have notified law enforcement agencies that may come across loose or taped stickers to use their discretion whenever possible. We have also made the process of obtaining a new sticker, should one be required, as easy as possible for our customers.”
Customers may obtain a replacement sticker at no cost.

The $2 fee normally charged by the DMV will be waived for customers who report that their inspection safety sticker has fallen off.
The $3 fee will be waived by the DMV for customers who report that their registration sticker has fallen off or become defective.
The DMV said it has been working with the vendors of both products to “identify the deficiencies and receive an appropriate restitution” and is removing defective stickers from its inventory.

The two stickers I put on my in-laws vehicles are indeed peeling off. One was from November, the other was from February and both I just taped up this past weekend. I just stuck a renewal sticker on my wife’s car, we’ll see how that does.
