Help needed with factory (or dealership) anti-theft sticker
Hello 3rd gen friends,
I recently changed out my factory installed windshield on my 1989 Trans Am GTA for a new one. In the lower right hand corner of the facrory windshield there is an anti-theft sticker that was either installed by the factory or by a dealership (probably dealership).
I was wondering if anyone can help me find the history about the sticker and where I might be able to find a replica of it for my new windshield. It's not possible for me to remove the sticker from the old windshield because it is in such bad condition that if I try to mess with it I will ruin it.
I'm hoping to find a replica sticker somewhere because it was on the car when it was purchased brand new.
Please see the attached pictures and let me know if you can offer any helpful guidance.
Thank you kindly.
Re: Help needed with factory (or dealership) anti-theft sticker
RRR = Rapid Response Roadservice Motor Club Inc. It's right there on the sticker. Sounds like it was similar to AAA. If it was on the windshield when the car was purchased new in 1989, then it was probably a service perk that particular dealership included with the purchase of its cars. If the dealership still exists, then contact them.
RRR appears to have been based in So Cal and no longer exists, but search results came back showing it all over the country. If the company didn't close its own doors, then it might've been absorbed by AAA and dissolved, kind of like how ACC buys out all of its carpet competitors so nobody can upstage its shoddy work.
If you can find a branch of RRR still operating somewhere, then maybe they can send you another sticker, if you really feel it's important enough to lose sleep over, which it's not, because it's definitely not factory, and it's nothing that 3rdgen history will care about, nor even know about, not in any way whatsoever. As Ice said to Maverick, "it's time to let go."

Any good sign shop can easily replicate the sticker. I've had several OEM stickers reproduced for my birds right down to the GM part number that's usually in the lower right corner.
And while I'm at it, please don't put another large, obnoxious "PONTIAC" Decal atop the windshield. Its stupid, childish, and cheapens the look of the car, IMO.

Nostalgia. Those stickers are not my thing, but I totally get it. Trying to keep the car like it was, whether "OE" or not.

Thank you...I knew someone would get it. Oh, and the decals on the windshield was how we rolled back in the 80s...and no, they are not going back on the new windshield.
I will check out the link that was posted for replica stickers...thanks again.
