Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement for the Towbar Specifications sticker that appears on the driver's side door frame of my wagon? I would dearly like to replace mine.

Next would through Holden.
Then from someone like Reece Towbars.

It’s a shitty label anyway. Would suggest it’s composition indicates the seriousness of having it there.

If it were genuinely important, it would be made entirely different materials.

I did not even know people took any notice of them, I don't, but in the 60's I towed cars on trailers I built myself using home built towbars on $30 Chrysler Royals and FC utes from Bris to Syd, Newcastle, and Adelaide.
Ah the good old days.
All you have to do is get a pic of a full tow bar spec and reproduce it.
I can put up a pic of a 2400kg if needed.

edit...opps it's 2100 not 2400 kg

Those stickers are a legal requirement and form part of the vehicles compliance.

Not that I’d expect a faded sticker would cause any real issues but because they are a legal requirement, I’d think Holden should still have them in stock... The price may be a shocker but they should have them.

I wonder how Holden would go supplying a sticker knowing it could be fitted to just about any car.
I would think you would have to take the car to a dealer, bend over, right over, and pay accordingly, hence my suggestion to reproduce one from a pic.

I think I have one on one of my Crewmans. I can get a photo with some measurements later.

It’s always worth checking with Holden spare parts as the price may surprise you. As always, it helps if you are seated when asking... just in case ;)

The sticker in question has the code GMADR12 which may or may mean anything. Whether the spare parts guy would need to see the car, I doubt it, but it’s not a difficult thing to swing by if that’s the case.
