How do I continuously place and remove a decal/sticker from my car window day to day without leaving residue or tearing up the decal?

I am now starting college and the school i go to has a terrible parking decal thats huge. I own a nice car and i'd like to have the option of using it for when i go to school and taking it off on the days i don't have class. I just want to know if there is a way to do this without leaving any residue from the sticker and having it dry out.

Question: Help...! I have a 1981 c10 with a 350 sb and a 600 cfm holley carb?

You did not have the engine on compression stroke, when looking for TDC. Or you thought you put the rotor back pointing to the same place but your engine was disturbed while apart.

Remove the #1 plug and plug the hole with a suitable object.
"Bump or tap the starter with the key" repeat till it pushes the object out with considerable force. dont use something that can be pulled in.
Now use the timing indicator to align the balancer at TDC.
This is static timing #1 position for the rotor.
Now wire the cap.
If you have questions. There are MOTOR, CHILTON,MITCHELL
manuals free at the library that depict the system, its arrangement, and specs.
Or you could pay a mechanic or a technician to show you.

Question: 1991 civic hatchback si voltage problems?

I took my car to a mechanic because it will idle weird, stall, and misfire, he checked the map sensor and it was getting too much voltage, so he tried 2 other ecus and the same thing happened, he said it was wiring, then he jiggled the cabin wire harness and it would start up and run but miss fire, so he said its most likely the cabin wire harmess, I just bought the car and the previous owner said it had a few problems and mentioned that he installed a new viper alarm system, a good system too not just a basic one, and the wore harness in the cabin does look played with, but looks like crap, what ahould be my next move?
Fix the shorts and wires?
How would I know what type of problem or short it is if its sending out too much voltage and causing the car to run rich

Or should I find a new harness, if I do which submodles can I use? Only si or the other ones?
