Default Vinyl Sticker Over Defroster

Ok so this may be a dumb question, but figured I'd ask. Would putting a vinyl sticker on the inside of the rear window be bad when having the rear defroster on? Just dont want melted plastic on the window. Its a 2000 Accord and I can feel the wire or whatever so am not sure if the heated part is inside the glass or not. Thanks for any help!

Tint has no problem with it. Also, the wire doesn't get that hot, so I think you are fine.

A lot places around here have parking stickers in the back window.... most people don't back into their spots making the rear window a good place to do quick checks of the lot.

Depending on a few things it may be trouble getting it off and not damaging the conductor lines.

As far as tint not having a problem with defroster lines, it depends on the quality of the tint. Most auto parts store crap will separate after a few short years on the defroster lines. I have seen it too many times to count.

And to it being in the rear window, most universities have regulations that do not allow you to pull in backwards (nose out) and will in-fact ticket you for doing so.

The rent a cops can still see my decal,never got a ticket,and my college doesnt allow backwards parking, i think they care about that than the actual decal.
