🚗❄️ Winter Tabs PSA ❄️🚗

For those of us lucky enough to renew registration in the midst of Minnesota winter:

You come in, buy your tabs, walk outside…
…and immediately try to stick them onto a license plate that is wet, salty, and covered in road grime.

Then the sticker doesn’t stick...😅

We promise: the tabs are not defective (although we understand why you try this approach 😅 )
But just like a Band-Aid, piece of tape, or any sticker, they will NOT stick to a wet surface. Adhesive + water + dirt = nope.

Before applying your new tab, take 30 seconds to:
✔ Wipe the plate clean (salt and slush are not your friend) - no, not with your thumb or your sleeve ;)
✔ Dry it completely
✔ Press the sticker on firmly and smooth it down

Think of it like putting tape on a wet countertop, you wouldn’t expect that to work either!

A quick clean-and-dry saves you from losing the sticker (and saves everyone a return trip in the cold AND a fee!).

💡 Pro Tip: Don’t leave your stickers in the car for a few days and then try to apply them. Warm stickers stick MUCH better than cold ones! Keep them inside, or warm them in your hands before applying them to your clean and dry plate.

We appreciate you, we really do, and we understand how frustrating it is when this happens. We are lucky Minnesotans as well. We just can’t outsmart physics. Share these tips with your friends and family! Stay warm out there, and enjoy this beautiful blanket of fresh snow!
