some people like to put water on the surface, so they can slide the sticker around a bit. when when the water evaporates, it sticks right where you want it, i think this is what he is talking about.

i would just clean the area as stated above, and eyeball her!

go check out the rice.com boards though, they are EXPERTS

rubbing alcohol to clean the window, then just peel the backing off and put it on. Use the bottom of the ".COM" to line it up with something, since that is flat.

Clean window with rubbing alcohol (DO NOT USE WINDEX).
remove paper back on decal and toss it.
place decal on window in desired location
squgee down (or you can use a couple of credit cards to do this)
remove trasnfer tape and toss it.
Step back and enjoy

Used to work in sign shop, and did this on daily basis.

Windex leaves a film on the surface. So when you go to remove the transfer tape, the decal won't stick.
