Are you thinking about decorating your car this Halloween? How about getting it jazzed up for Christmas? Maybe you’re decorating someone’s ride for their wedding, since this is one of the most popular times of the year to get hitched. Whatever your reasoning, you need to know how to decorate a car safely before you dress it up and hit the road. We have N Charlotte Toyota tips to help you do it safely and efficiently, so take a closer look!
Use our tips to decorate your car safely for every occasion
Here are our top Toyota of N Charlotte tips for decorating your ride this holiday season:
Tie things down, big time. The last thing you want is decorations to go flying off of your car when you’re heading down the highway. Not only can it damage your car if the wind rips something off of it, it can also become an obstruction for other drivers and cause an accident. Our N Charlotte Toyota dealership recommends using zip ties to keep things secured when your ride is in motion.
Think about your field of vision. You need to be able to see out of every window in your car, especially the rear window and your windshield. That’s why it’s important to make sure you don’t block these fields of vision with decorations. If you really need to put something over the windows of your N Charlotte Toyota – say for Trunk or Treat – wait until you reach your final destination, and remove the decoration before you head out again. Make sure you don’t have any blind spots due to decorations!
Be careful of your tint when applying stickers or decals. Our N Charlotte Toyota service techs recommend NOT putting anything on the inside of the glass, as it can damage your tint and cause you to need repairs. Who wants to deal with that twice? Also be careful when you apply stickers to the exterior of your N Charlotte Toyota, as they can damage paint.

Don’t hang things from the rearview mirror. This can damage the mirror, obstruct your vision, and even damage your windshield if the item is heavy enough. If you’re going to hang something on the mirror of your N Charlotte Toyota, wait until your car is in park and then remove it before you get going.
Make sure you’re doing things legally. A lot of states actually have rules when it comes to decorations that are allowed on your vehicle, especially when it comes to lighting. You don’t want to end up being ticketed! Explore the rules or contact your local DMV for clarification before you start flexing that Pinterest muscle.
