Windscreen VIN Label Replacement UK

Order a replacement windscreen VIN label manufactured in the UK using durable, tamper-evident automotive label material. Suitable when the original label is missing, damaged, faded, peeling or unreadable following repair, restoration or windscreen work.

Compatible with cars, vans, 4x4s, imports, electric vehicles, commercial vehicles and specialist builds.

How to Order

Step 1 — Enter your registration number (optional)

Enter a UK registration number and select Look Up Vehicle to retrieve available vehicle details. International customers or customers without a registration number can skip this step.

Step 2 — Enter the VIN

Enter the complete 17-character VIN exactly as shown on the vehicle and supporting documents. Check every character carefully before continuing.

Step 3 — Upload a reference photograph

Upload a clear, straight photograph of the original VIN label. If the label is missing, upload a clear photograph of the permanent stamped chassis/VIN number instead.

The photograph must be readable and should show the complete label or chassis number without glare or blur.

Step 4 — Upload proof of ownership or authority

Upload one of the following:

• V5C logbook

• Purchase invoice

• IVA or registration document

• Other evidence showing that you own the vehicle or are authorised to order

Orders may be refused when ownership or authority cannot be verified.

Step 5 — Confirm the finished size

Enter the required label width and height in millimetres.

If the original size is unknown, select Skip / Use Standard Size. Unless another size is agreed, the standard windscreen label size supplied will be 80 × 20 mm.

Step 6 — Add instructions and paid extras

Provide any useful wording, layout or vehicle information. Select optional extras only when required; their prices will be added at checkout.

Step 7 — Check everything before ordering

Confirm that the VIN, vehicle details, measurements and uploaded files are correct. Accept the Terms & Conditions, then select the checkout button to add the order to your cart.

Important: We manufacture the label using the information you provide. Incorrect customer-supplied information or measurements may require a new paid order.

How to Apply the Label

Before you begin

Apply the label in a clean, dry, sheltered area. The recommended surface and air temperature is approximately 15°C to 25°C.

Do not apply the label to a wet, dusty, greasy, freshly painted or recently polished surface.

Step 1 — Check the label

Before removing the backing, check:

• The VIN is correct

• The size is correct

• The label matches the order information

• The intended fitting position is correct

Do not fit the label if anything appears incorrect. Contact VIN Shield before removing the backing.

Step 2 — Test the position

Place the label in position while the backing is still attached. Check that it is straight, fully visible through the windscreen and does not obstruct the VIN characters.

Use low-tack masking tape as a positioning guide if needed.

Step 3 — Clean the surface

Remove dust, wax, polish, silicone and grease using isopropyl alcohol and a clean, lint-free cloth. Allow the surface to dry completely.

Do not use household polish or leave cleaning residue behind.

Step 4 — Remove part of the backing

Avoid touching the adhesive. Peel back only a small section of the backing paper to expose one end of the label.

Step 5 — Apply slowly

Align the exposed end with the positioning guide. Press it down gently, then slowly remove the remaining backing while smoothing the label from one side to the other.

Use light, even pressure to prevent creases or trapped air. Do not stretch the label.

Step 6 — Press firmly

Once correctly positioned, press firmly across the complete label, especially around the edges and VIN characters. Use a clean microfibre cloth or a soft-edged applicator.

Step 7 — Allow the adhesive to bond

Keep the area dry and avoid cleaning, rubbing or disturbing the label for at least 24 hours. Full adhesive strength develops gradually.

Important Fitting Warning

The label uses tamper-evident material and may be damaged if lifted, repositioned or removed after application. Take time to check the VIN and alignment before allowing the adhesive to touch the surface.

VIN Shield UK is not responsible for fitting errors, incorrect positioning, contaminated surfaces or damage caused while applying the label. If you are not confident fitting it, use an experienced vehicle technician or professional sign/label installer.
