Other things to consider:
Vehicles equipped with ‘aftermarket’ window tint:
Be sure to get the customer’s approval to install the ‘kia anti-theft logic’ decals if the vehicle has aftermarket window tint
installed as they will adhere to the tint film surface and not the door glass surface, and alert customer that the ‘kia antitheft logic’ decals may not be visible through the tint film from outside the vehicle.
For ‘California’ state vehicles only:
The proposition 65 decal may still be present on the inner front door glass. Be sure to get the customer’s approval to
remove this decal from the inner door glass before installing the ‘kia anti-theft logic’ decals.
