Rear Window Graphics

Does anyone have them on the back of their rear window of their trucks. I was thinking of getting one for my 2004 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer.

Thanks...

If you're talking about those full-size window graphics, I did one. They look good, but...and a big but here...

See those little micro holes in it? When it rains, they collect water and you can't see through it. I don't know about you, but I like to be able to see out the back of my truck.

Just my .02 cents/

this is true. its a pain in the ***.

I actually design vehicle graphics for a design firm, and we started using this new laminate that seals those holse. helps a lot.

I had one on my last truck. I really like it. It was really easy to install and never had any issues after. It is true the holes fill up and you cant see through it when it is wet. But hay, that's what mirrors are for? I drive a dump truck often at work with no rear window. Si I have gotten very use to seeing when you cant see.

Plus on my Super Duty I have reverse sensors which are great. Your 04 Eddie Bauer Explorer must have them with that trim level?

I am still thinking about it. I haven't bought anything yet. I thought I would ask first before I bought it.

Yes I do have reverse sensing system. God, it scared me when I first tested my SUV out. I couldn't figure out what the hell those were.

Thanks-

i think I will end up printing my own. It should be under $100. tey are pretty easy to install, and will last a few years. the trick is to keep the edges trimmed when they start peel, trim them off. 1/8" trim off each year is normall.

ive got an american flag on the back of my truck, it has the laminate that covers the holes and i can see out of it fine when its wet, even with the 2.5% tint on the inside, ive never had any problems with it. theyre easy to put on yourself
