the sticker label on my windshield washer bottle was wrinkly and creased, so i searched for a faithful reproduction. finding nothing that matched the factory look exactly, and being an old-school graphic designer, i decided to recreate the label myself.

these labels were reproduced by scanning and vectorizing a good-condition factory label. after some digital cleanup, they were laser-printed on silver polyester self-adhesive label stock and trimmed to the exact dimensions of the original.

the appearance of these reproductions is extremely close to the factory part, though perhaps very slightly cooler in color. the color of the typography was difficult to reproduce — 40-year-old labels are all faded to various degrees — but the color is really close. label thickness is slightly less than factory, so care must be taken when applying.

reproduction label applied to a washer bottle

some installation tips:
  • remove washer bottle for easier label application
  • to remove your old label, apply heat from a hair dryer or heat gun (don't get too close)
  • when working near the fuel tank, please BE CAREFUL
  • clean the area around the label thoroughly to eliminate debris that could get under the new label
  • apply the new label by sticking one end first, then smoothing as you go with finger or stiff paper to help eliminate air bubbles
