I think those decals shouldn’t be on the back window anyway; they should be on the tailgate. Once he’s out of room there after putting on more, then all over the truck and the back window would be a last resort.
I grew up on a farm and when I learned to drive it was usually in vehicles that the back window was always blocked. Therefore I learned to back using the side mirrors and never turned my head to look over my shoulder out the back window or using the inside mirror. The rear view camera is great help that I have learned to use on occasion to check what is directly behind me.
I ALWAYS use my side view mirrors when backing up. I find it much easier than twisting my body to look out the back windshield. You just have to be sure that no one will be in your way when you back up.
Sadly, now days nobody know how to use them. I use them every in my truck that has a topper on it. But my Old ’76 malibu only has a driver mirror no passenger mirror and came that way from the factory. Part of learning to drive should be know how to use the mirrors with a lot of backup training like truck drivers do and know how to change a tire plus other little things about your car/truck.

Uh, that’s what the mirrors are for. Ever wonder how semi, dump truck, or box truck drivers manage that?

I have a few on my rear window, but I make sure to place them so they’re not blocking anything and even if they did, I just use my side mirrors anyway

I always use my side mirrors and my rear window is clear. Rear view mirror looks over the top of too many things in a 4-wheel drive truck.

I don’t put anything in rear window. No stickers or hats etc!

In Pennsylvania, his truck would not pass the State vehicle inspection with an obscured window.

No tire tracks in the grass to reach the mail box … like in my yard.

I always use my side mirrors to back up…in winter months sometimes the rear window is covered with snow or fog anyway. Just get used to it!

I drove a dump truck as part of my college job. I always use my outside mirrors and not the rear view one or the camera.

Or as Weird Al says is a sign of being tacky …
