Need Help Looking for window hangers

Got a call asking for signs that hang on a vehicle side window (on the outside) over the top edge of the window, and pinched in place when the window is rolled up. Apparently hotshot drivers are using them for their DOT numbers so they are removable and they don't have to worry about magnetics not sticking to aluminum.

I found an online retailer of finished signs, but no source for blanks. Has anyone ever bought these and can give the source?

If the retailer is WindowHanger out of Indiana, I'd inquire about buying blanks, or a jobber/ wholesaler price and just sub them out to them to make.

Option 2: Order a set from them to see what it's made of/ how it's made, and see if you can fab your own version.

Another option is Glass Apeel vinyl. Lot of shops are using it in place of magnets for on aluminum. It's re-positionable, reusable, and it sticks to anything smooth, paint, glass.... Think I've seen posts in here about it sticking good at highway speeds.

I've used Glass Apeel. It's not all it's cracked up to be. Reusability is very limited. Dirt and wind and the need for clean flat storage make it very iffy.

It appears that Windowhanger is the only company doing these. I sent the customer to them. It wasn't someone who is already my customer. Just someone calling around locally because he'd seen them on the road.

i will stick up for glass apeel, it is fine if people EXACTLY follow the directions, and clean it scrupulously (likE ADRIAN MONK lining the peas up on his plate)

i do not have a single client who is capable of doing that, however
