Re: DoorJam non-CAT sticker... Can I save it?

You may be able to come up with more stickers!  I know when I worked at a
body shop for a while they had replacement stickers you could buy when there
was body damage that made a sticker unuseable.  I don't know about the older
cars, but I have ordered ones back as far as early eighties.
Unfortuneately, this means dealing with the stealership!!  HTH!
