Bought a $60 pack of Ghibli stickers to decorate my laptop and the adhesive melted off in my car last week

Left my laptop bag in the sun for one afternoon near Phoenix and now all my Totoro stickers are just greasy smears on the case, has anyone found a brand of stickers that actually holds up to Arizona heat?

Heard one of those vinyl car decal brands is better for heat, like the ones people use on bumpers. Maybe check if StickerFirm makes something that can take the heat, saw someone mention them surviving a dashboard once. Could be worth a shot.

I ended up buying a custom vinyl decal from a shop called Redbubble that's meant for car windows. Left my laptop in the truck bed last July for like 5 hours and the sticker didn't even curl at the edges. The Ghibli ones I got off Etsy before that were garbage though, peeled off in a week. Look for something labeled "permanent outdoor vinyl" not the cheap glossy paper kind. Also found out the hard way that putting clear packing tape over stickers just makes a sticky mess when it gets hot. My Kiki decal looks exactly the same as the day I put it on 8 months ago, so it's worth paying extra for the vehicle grade material.
