Hate to say it but I think you have to pay the 35 bucks again.
Being that I have sold permits, I have also looked into replacing them. I found out from MI DNRE that you have to write a letter to there office in Lancing and they might send you a new one. This process takes at least a couple of weeks. There is no quick fix aside from buying a new sticker. If you want the address to send them a letter PM me and I will look it up for you.

Okay, first off the sticker is not. An MSA pass. It is a Michigan trail permit. Pay the $35 all over again. It is not the states fault or decision to change your hood. That is the way it works. Pull off your old sticker and it destructs, leaving you the word void on your hood. Try it.
Thanks for all your help guys......

maybe I will run into you in MI someday and you can have a beer on me and relax..........

Like Mike says, use a hair dryer, and go very very slowly. It will come off and it won't be an issue.
BTW, trail stickers are sold to the INDIVIDUAL, and not the sled, so as long as YOU bought it and it is on the same sled, it is NOT illegal to do this. DNR just doesn't want you to pass it along to other sledders and wants everyone to buy their own.
While this is a pain to take this much time to remove and replace it, there is no harm in trying and the worst that happens is that you need to buy another which is a good cause and the money goes right back into the trail system expenses.
The following is straight from the Michigan.gov dnr website:
Snowmobile Trail Permit:
In addition to registration of a snowmobile in Michigan or from another state or province, a person who desires to operate a snowmobile in this state needs to purchase a snowmobile trail permit sticker. The snowmobile trail permit sticker is valid for 1 year which begins October 1 and ends September 30 of the following year.
Snowmobile trail permits are available at the following:
- Online at the DNRE E-License Web site-Your sticker will be mailed to you within 7-10 days. OR
- Through the Michigan Snowmobile Association. OR
- From DNRE Operations Service Centers.
Operated exclusively on lands owned or under the control of the owner, used entirely in a safety education program conducted by a certified snowmobile safety instructor, exclusively operated in a special event of limited duration which is conducted according to a prearranged schedule under a permit from the governmental unit having proper jurisdiction or a snowmobile used solely for transportation on the frozen surface of public waters for the purpose of ice fishing.
Display of Trail Permit Sticker:
The trail permit sticker needs to be permanently affixed to the forward half of the snowmobile directly above or below the headlight.

Let me add to the ice fishing rule. You better have a valid fishing license and some fishing gear with you to save yourself on this one. Blasting up and down lake Gogebic on your xcsp 800 in full Poo leather would take you out of the fishing catagory with a fishing license or not if you are not posessing a tip up or two. I have a brother in law who plays that game and usually gets a ticket and ends up buying the trail permit in the end.
