Question about Green vignette for cars (Umweltplakette) (sh.itjust.works)

Hello, I’ll go to Germany by car next weekend. I have bought the green badge (edit : Umweltplakette) that should be applied on the windshield. The badge has been purchased with the details of the vehicle (license plate, VIN,…).

Question : since I probably won’t go to Germany again in the coming years, can I paste the vignette onto some transparent plastic sheet and paste the plastic on the windshield ? So that I can remove it after my trip, and put it again in a few years for the next visit ? I don’t want to reduce the visibility because of another vignette. I already have the French CritAir, the Swiss, … my windshield starts to looks like those laptops full of stickers.

What’s the risk ? Since I have the vignette legally paid ?

But you don't need a vignette for Germany?

edit: OP you mean the Umweltplakette (enviormental badge). A vignette is specifically for road taxes.

Its the green one about exhaust pollution for being allowed to enter the city center.
