Yours looks better than mine, though I swear it used to go higher up. Then again it could be my failing memory

I just noticed now that our IV that was Port installed (It was on the sticker) is off a little and the V that was dealer installed is perfect.

This is my other car Prius IV

I can clearly see from the photos that mine was cut off by the installer. Instead of the nice rounded corners at the top, mine are sharp 90 degree cuts. I have no idea why he would slice 1/2 inch the whole thing from one end to the other, unless he messed up the top edge and decided to try and hide it rather than order another sticker.

If it looks bad then print these photos out and show them that you want a new one and good luck.

It seems that they have chopped a little off the edge like you say, it seems OK, but it is you that has to live with it.
Best of luck
Don

Edit:
Yes I do notice what you are seeing now and very well !
To get a new one will be up to you and them!
Best of luck

Edit:
If it is good other than that, it may be in your best interest to leave it alone or you could get bubbles, finger prints, etc.. Next time.
