1. (a) If the motor vehicle has a windshield, the inspection certificate shall be attached firmly to the lower left-hand, inside corner of that windshield as viewed from the driver's seat, as close to the frame as possible. The certificate shall be affixed by the inspector so that it:

   1. (1) does not interfere with the vision of the driver through the windshield or any rearview mirror on the left fender of the vehicle; and
   2. (2) does not interfere with reading from outside the vehicle the vehicle identification number on the left-hand corner of the dashboard.
2. (b) The certificate may not be issued or affixed to vehicles at any area or location other than the approved inspection area of the vehicle inspection station by the certified inspector who made the inspection.
3. (c) Any valid out-of-state inspection certificate in the lower left-hand corner of the windshield shall not be removed, and the inspection certificate shall be placed as near the left-hand corner of the windshield as possible.
4. (d) Any other certificate, decal, or sticker, such as parking permit or property owner identification, shall be removed if it is in the lower left-hand corner of the windshield where the inspection certificate is to be affixed. The vehicle inspection station owner shall advise the vehicle owner or operator that the department designates this location for the inspection certificate, and that the vehicle owner should obtain a replacement permit or decal and locate it on another place on the vehicle.
5. (e) An old inspection certificate shall not be removed until immediately before placing the new certificate on the windshield.
