Factory theft-deterrent sticker - yours under or over factory tint?

[57hotrodvw]

Hi all,

I took delivery of my new Taco yesterday (whoohoo! - pics to come soon)

The only problem that I have with it is that I got the factory (port) installed tint, and when they put it on, they put it over the gold "This Vehicle Is Equipped With A Toyota Theft-Deterrent System" sticker on the windows, then added another alarm sticker on top of the tint

I quickly removed the sticker on top of the tint, but the tint is going to have to come off to remove the other (I like my windows and tint clean, and free of unnecessary stickers).

If you have factory installed tint, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if your Taco has the theft-deterrent sticker under or over the tint.

Thanks!

Never heard of such a thing. Would be a pain in the *** to get off if it's true.

FYI - Just a clarification for you. Port installed is not factory. It is a distributor installed item after the vehicle is received from the factory. Also note that in Gulf States Toyota (GST) and Southeast Toyota (SET) distributor regions many options are installed by the distributor that are not Toyota (TMS) available items. Also often available factory options are substituted with similar options in these regions. For example, leather seats in GST or SET regions may be port/distributor installed as opposed to the factory leather option.

I have after-market window tinting installed over the stickers. No problems noted.
