    Look closly at this picture, my original grabber is like this too.....The original decal looked like it had a clear sorta tape "covering the instructions" on whole back side "facing us" you at edges of this pic you will see clear tape, This must be why original decals lasted so long......i put one on another maverick 8 years ago from autokrafters....its coming apart already "junk aftermarket" wonder how they did that tape :hmmm:

    Thats the glue, the plastic or paper that the info is printed on has shrunk, my 74 has done the same thing.

    I have used the repops and they eventually "shrink up" like the originals.
