Writing on the back windshield is a great way to draw attention to your vehicle. Whether you wish to surprise your teenager with their new ride or put your used car up for sale, using the right markers will ensure the message is displayed without causing any damage to the auto glass. Below are a few tips for effective windshield decoration.

3 Windshield Decoration Tips

1. Only Use Car Markers

Do not use regular dry erase or permanent markers on your windshield as these can cause permanent damage to the glass. Auto glass markers are designed specifically for writing on car windows. They’re water-resistant to rainstorms; however, they can be easily removed without a trace using a wet cloth. 

2. Consider Rear Visibility on the Road

While fun designs are a great way to add your own creativity to your vehicle, don’t put your safety at risk. Avoid heavily colored-in drawings or any designs that may interfere with your rear view of the road. Don’t draw on the side windows or mirrors as this can prevent you from checking your blind spots. 

3. Frame the Outside of the Front Windshield

If you want to add festive decorations to your vehicle, draw a frame around the outside trim on the front windshield. However, do not draw anything in the center, as this will minimize your front visibility of the road. 

If you follow these tips, your windshield will stay in great shape, even after the marker washes away.
