I get them reproduced.

I remove them by heating the inside of the door where the sticker is and it peels off when I get it hot enough. ALLOW the heat to be able to migrate into the adhesive under the sticker....SO...apply heat...let it sit...apply heat, and so on. Usually...I can see how the sticker is kinda wanting to come off and there is an air pocket under it.

In some cases I can re-use the original...but that does not occur too often.

is there a vendor that reproduces them or do you just experiment and do it your self?
