Is it law to have doorjam stickers?

[HBTFD]

I’m sure they are required. I was more asking about the location. I remember them being under the hood years ago. Guess they are required in the jam now.

Easiest place access them. Just like the vin tag on the left side of the dash.

I dont want to put words in the OP's mouth but I would think they are asking because they dont want the sticker visible when driving doorless. I've seen it on Jeeps and it does stand out especially once you've seen it and then it's hard not to notice.

haha, you actually have a very good point there, I never had a vehicle where you can leave the doors at home, so the issue seemed silly to me, but with this perspective it makes total sense, would be nicer if they'd be in the rear gate frame, I stand corrected! and agree. I'm just gonna let my comment stand anyways, but consider it redacted

You can't resell the vehicle without the stickers in place.

I guess you could say why would one care at all about what their vehicle looks like? Why not just put the sticker across the grill if you dont care about the looks ? Not saying I care as I wont be removing mine but some people want a clean look with or without the doors. As I said I've noticed it and it does stand out particularly on dark colored Jeeps.

Ouch....you got me keyboard warrior. There's a lovely mall I like to frequent called Rausch Creek Offroad Park here in PA. Maybe you'd like to join me sometime but I doubt it.

If you'd actually read my posts I said some people want a clean look hence the reason they may want them removed. To each their own. Not me....some people.

It is a law to have these stickers in the door jam. Why can’t they place them somewhere else?

FYI this is the applicable Federal regulation...

Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e-CFR) > Title 49 - Transportation > Subtitle B - Other Regulations Relating to Transportation > CHAPTER V - NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION > PART 571 - FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS > Subpart B - Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

§ 571.110 Tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less.

Each vehicle, except for a trailer or incomplete vehicle, shall show the information specified in S4.3 (a) through (g), and may show, at the manufacturer's option, the information specified in S4.3 (h) and (i), on a placard permanently affixed to the driver’s side B-pillar. In each vehicle without a driver’s side B-pillar and with two doors on the driver’s side of the vehicle opening in opposite directions, the placard shall be affixed on the forward edge of the rear side door.

If the vehicle is a motor home and is equipped with a propane supply, the weight of full propane tanks must be included in the vehicle's unloaded vehicle weight.

if I’m ever in the area with my Defender 90, Series III, or 7.3 F250 I’ll recover your Jeep.
Ouch.

Very Impressive. Also proof you never been on Northeast trails.

I deleted my reply when I considered it too confrontational.

 

[Mattwings]

Very similar to GVW and GVWR. Matters for Commercail Vehicles, not much for private passenger vehicles. I used to pay to have them moved when I was an insurance adjuster if we replaced the structure they were attached to, but it wasn’t law form memory, it just maintained the prior condition.

 

[Funkdoobiest]

As long as they're not put on crooked.

I'm not worried about anyone seeing the stickers with the door off. They will be too transfixed on my incredibly sexy leg hanging just outside the door frame.

 

[#Broncolife]

Yup. You’ll see me as the mall. And at work, baseball, soccer, and every other place. You will definitely see me at Rouch Creek. Weekends are for wheeling, weekdays are for washing the truck and running the kids around. Hope to see fellow PA/NJ folks on the trails.
