Default Preserving the original sticker
What is the conventional wisdom on this? Mine came from the PO in a plastic sleeve and folded twice to fit.

1. Keep it there, it's fine?
2. Unfold it and seal it in laminate plastic?
3. Unfold it and keep it in a larger plastic sleeve unsealed?
4. Send it to the National Archives for proper preservation?
5. Other good idea?

Not trying to be a concours guy, just want to make sure I take the best care of this important document.

Thanks.

Make copies to insure the original never gets damaged... Put the orginal in a plastic sleeve in a binder is fine IMHO.

I have a three ring binder for my car, and keep the title and bill of sale in there, in a plastic page saver, with the service records and other documents.

If I had the original window sticker, I would have that in a page saver, in the binder.

I don't think it matters if anyone is a concours guy or not, but the fact is that many buyers want records.

Make a color copy of the original, then plastic laminate the copy. Keep the original like you have it now.

A three ring binder clear sleeve page is where my original sticker resides amongst the complete set of maintenance records.

Another option is to frame it and display it over the fireplace. Or perhaps it could be used as a centerpiece to a 993 shrine if you have mucho free time

I got too much junk in the car, so I'll be tossing my original sticker tomorrow.

Truth be told, I maintain a binder only as a token gesture to anality, as I wash my car only twice a year.

But I really wish I had my car's window sticker...

Mines been folded up in quarters inside the leather manual case for the last 16 years. Still looks like I just pulled it off the window.

Mine's in the same binderclip where I keep maintenance records - folded in clear plastic sleeve - I think it's good enough for preserving it.

Yes, and be sure to use acid free matting and paper!
