How it goes on
Three steps on a clean window
Every design is held to the Ranger Pro spec sheets: one color, cut to the outline, nothing else on the sheet. You need soapy water, rubbing alcohol, a lint-free cloth, a strip of masking tape and a credit card or a squeegee. Ten minutes, start to finish.
- 1
Clean the glass
Wash the spot with soapy water and dry it, then wipe it with rubbing alcohol. If water beads on the glass, there is wax on it, and the decal will not hold.
- 2
Hinge it in place
Tape the decal across its middle where you want it, step back and look. Move the tape until the design sits level.
- 3
Press and peel
Lift one half, peel the backing, press it down from the hinge outward with a card, then do the other half. Peel the top sheet back on itself, slowly and close to the glass.
Your surface is the background
Only the design is vinyl
A Ranger Pro decal is cut from a single sheet of colored vinyl, and everything that is not the design is weeded away. What you press onto the glass is the dog, the letters or the oval and nothing else, so the paint, the tint or the aluminum of your lid fills every gap between the shapes.
That is why the same design looks bolder on a tinted rear window than on a white tailgate. The picture with this text is how one of our designs sits on a rear window: the glass does half the work.
Where it fits
Any hard, smooth surface
Glass, paint, metal and hard plastic all take a decal. Fabric, rough wood and textured plastic do not, because the vinyl has nothing smooth to grip.
- Rear windowOn the outside of the glass, below the wiper sweep.
- Side windowTall designs fit the narrow quarter glass behind a door.
- ToolboxFlat lids and drawer fronts, wiped clean of grease first.
- Laptop lidSquare designs center on the lid, clear of the vents.
- TumblerNarrow, tall designs follow a curve better than wide ones.
- CoolerSmooth hard-plastic coolers, not the textured ones.
Popular searches
Ranger Pro decals, by what people look for
Four ways into the Ranger Pro lineup that people search for by name: the words, the shapes, the back glass and the laptop lid.
Ranger Pro lettering decals: the type sets the tone
Blackletter makes Praise the Lowered sound like a hymn, a marker hand makes Drink Local sound like a note on the fridge, and heavy block capitals make God Bless Our Troops plain from across a lot. Pick the line you want first, then look at how it is drawn.
Ranger Pro silhouette decals: a shape before a word
A drum major under a plumed hat, a jackrabbit at full stretch, a grand piano with its lid up. Every one of these designs is drawn as an outline first, so you know what it is long before you are close enough to see the small cuts inside it.
Ranger Pro rear window decals: built for a wide, short strip
Lay a banner along the lower edge of your back glass and it stays out of the part you look through. Save the Sticks, Ain't Skeered and the Gliding Crow are all drawn long for that strip, with words or wings running sideways instead of stacking up.
Ranger Pro laptop decals: a square shape for a square lid
Square art sits in the middle of a lid with the same margin all around, which a long banner never does. The Pit Bull Head, the Peeking Monster tearing through its opening and the Carpenter Saw Blade all fit that space, and they work on a toolbox drawer too.
Since 2015
What Ranger Pro makes, and for whom
For 11 years Ranger Pro has cut one-color vinyl decals for people who like to say something with a rear window: duck hunters and bass fishermen, dog people, church groups, gym rats, drag racers and folks who just want the tailgate to make someone laugh at a red light.
Before you order
How to pick a Ranger Pro decal in six checks
The questions people send the Ranger Pro studio most, each answered with something you can check before you press a button.
Look at the glass you have
A white decal reads best on tinted or dark glass and on dark paint. On a light car or a silver laptop the shapes still show, but thin lines fade first, so pick a design with bold, solid parts.
How a decal goes onMatch the shape to the spot
A long banner runs along the bottom of a rear window or a bumper. A tall design fits a side window, a tumbler or a door frame. A design close to square sits best on a laptop lid or a toolbox.
See every shapeMind the wiper and the mirrors
On a rear window, keep the decal out of the wiper path. In California, Texas and Florida the rear window may carry a decal only if your car has outside mirrors on both sides.
Where a decal can goKeep it off the windshield
The windshield is the strictest glass in every state we read, and New York bars stickers on the rear window too. Read what your state says before a decal goes on glass you look through.
State rules we readRead the words from across the lot
Lettering with thick strokes reads from a distance. Script and hairline letters look best up close, on a laptop or a cooler you carry.

Questions
What people ask before buying Ranger Pro
Where can I buy Ranger Pro decals?
Press the buy button on any Ranger Pro design. It opens that decal at our retail partner, where the current price is shown and where you check out. Payment, delivery and returns are handled there as well, not on this site.
How do you put a Ranger Pro decal on without bubbles?
Start with a clean, dry, smooth surface, place the decal where you want it before anything sticks, and press it down from the middle outward so the air has somewhere to go. Our application guide walks through each step, from lining it up to lifting the backing.
How long does a Ranger Pro decal last on your truck outdoors?
The vinyl is rated UV and water resistant for up to six years outdoors. That is an upper figure, not a promise: a decal on a toolbox in the garage has an easier life than one on a tailgate in full sun every afternoon.
What shows between the shapes of a Ranger Pro decal on your car?
Your car does. A Ranger Pro decal is die cut from one color of vinyl, with no background and no clear border, so your glass or paint fills every gap. That is why the same design looks different on dark glass than on a light painted panel.
Can a Ranger Pro decal go on your cooler or tumbler instead of your car?
Yes. The decals are made for hard, smooth surfaces: glass, painted metal, a laptop lid, a toolbox, a cooler, a tumbler. Fabric and rough, textured plastic are the exceptions. For a cup, the tall designs keep facing you as the side curves away.
Which Ranger Pro decal fits the back window of your truck?
Look at the banners. They are drawn long and low to run along the bottom of the glass, below the part you look through. Save the Sticks, Ain't Skeered and Halo and Wings are three of them. Rules differ by state, so read yours before you place one.
