We refund to your original payment method within 7 days of receiving the return.

Product Terms of Use

Download the Product Terms of Use (PDF) — the same document included with every Winker.

⚠ WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD — Small parts and strong magnets. Not a toy. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use if you lack the strength or dexterity to handle strong magnets. Hold the bumper-sticker magnet down and lift or tilt the Winker by its knob — never slide it off the bumper-sticker magnet. Step-by-step photos: How to use your Winker.

These Terms of Use establish the proper use, installation, and maintenance of the Winker magnetic pet waste bag holder system, including the silicone bag holder, mounting magnet(s), leash attachment disk(s), and protective bumper-sticker magnet (collectively, the 'Product'), manufactured and sold by Ndrea Labs, LLC, doing business as Stinky Winker ('Ndrea Labs,' 'we,' 'us,' or 'our'). By purchasing, installing, or using the Product, you ('User' or 'you') agree to be bound by these Terms of Use, including the Limitation of Liability and Indemnification section below. Please read them carefully before use.

Installation & Use Instructions

1. Before You Start

• Make sure your vehicle's paint, clear coat, and wax are fully cured before applying the bumper-sticker magnet (approximately: paint – 90 days, clear coat – 60 days, wax – 2 days).
• Clean the mounting surface and the magnets with mild detergent and a soft cloth, and let them dry completely.
• Apply components at room temperature. Magnets and silicone can become brittle in extreme cold, and extreme heat can permanently weaken the magnet.

2. Where to Mount

• Mount only on a clean, flat, smooth, vertical steel surface. Magnets will not hold on aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, or carbon fiber.
• Never mount on a horizontal surface (roof, hood, trunk lid), over moldings, lights, badges, decals, pin striping, or curved/concave body lines, or near exhaust outlets or other heat sources.
• Avoid spots that sit in constant direct sunlight.
• Vertical steel areas on the trunk or tailgate are often a good choice: they sit outside the main airflow along the sides of the vehicle.

3. Attaching & Removing

• Press the bumper-sticker magnet flat onto the vehicle, with no air pockets, bubbles, or lifted edges.
• Attach the Winker only on top of the bumper-sticker magnet — never directly to paint — and never stack magnets beyond this two-piece assembly.
• Keep the bag clear of the magnets: no part of the bag or its tail should be caught between the Winker and the bumper-sticker magnet. The Winker's magnet must sit flush against the bumper sticker.
• Keep fingers clear when attaching: the magnets are strong and snap together suddenly.
• Before every drive, confirm the assembly sits flush and feels firm.
• Removing the Winker: hold the bumper-sticker magnet flat against the vehicle with one hand, then grip the knob with the other and lift the Winker straight up and away, or tilt it slightly to release it. Holding the bumper-sticker magnet down keeps it from peeling up with the Winker. Never slide it off or across the bumper-sticker magnet — sliding drags trapped grit across the surface and sliding off the bumper-sticker magnet can scratch the car’s finish.
• Removing or repositioning the bumper-sticker magnet: lift it gently from the sides by hand, without tools or sharp objects. Never peel it from a corner or slide it across the paint.

4. Leash Attachment

• Retractable leash: peel the backing from the included metal disk and press it firmly onto a clean, dry spot on the leash housing.
• Standard leash: thread the leash handle through the included keychain loop and twist firmly to secure. The Winker snaps onto the metal disk on the keychain.
• Make sure the Winker releases cleanly from the leash before attaching it to the car, and vice versa.

5. Bag Loading

• Keep the combined weight of bags in one Winker under 8 ounces (half a pound). Overloading makes it more likely to release while driving. For multiple or larger dogs, use more than one Winker.
• Knot each bag and press the knot and excess plastic through the Y-slot, pulling it snug. Double-knot very thin bags.

6. Care & Storage

• Wipe the Winker's magnet clean before every reattachment. It can pick up iron-rich sand, dirt, and grit, which weakens the bond and can scratch.
• Clean all components and the vehicle surface at least weekly (more often in humid, dusty, or high-pollen climates) with mild detergent and a soft cloth; dry completely.
• Remove the Product before any automatic or high-pressure car wash.
• Long-term use can cause paint fading or marring under the bumper-sticker magnet. Removing it periodically to air out the surface, and changing the mounting spot occasionally, helps reduce this.
• Store flat in a clean, dry place out of reach of children and pets. Don't stack objects on stored magnets or store units with magnetic faces touching.

⚠ Warnings ⚠

Failure to follow these warnings could result in injury, damage to the Product or your vehicle, or loss of bags or their contents while driving.

• CHOKING HAZARD – SMALL PARTS. Contains small parts, including magnets and metal disks. Not a toy. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• MAGNET INGESTION HAZARD. Swallowed magnets can attract each other inside the body and cause serious internal injury. If a magnet or small part is swallowed, seek medical (or veterinary) attention immediately.
• PINCH HAZARD / STRENGTH & DEXTERITY. Magnets snap together suddenly and can pinch fingers or skin. Do not use the Product if you lack the hand strength or dexterity to attach and remove it in a controlled way.
• DO NOT SLIDE. Never slide the Winker to remove it from the bumper-sticker magnet. Hold the bumper-sticker magnet down and lift or tilt the Winker by the knob.
• KEEP THE BAG CLEAR. Never attach the Winker over the bag, its tail, or any plastic. Anything trapped between the magnets keeps the Winker from sitting flush against the bumper sticker, weakens the hold, and can cause it to detach while driving.
• CHECK BEFORE EVERY DRIVE. Do not drive with the Product if the attachment doesn't feel firm, and never use a component that shows bubbling, wrinkling, bent edges, cracking, a stretched or loose silicone holder, or other damage.
• WEATHER & TEMPERATURE. Do not use the Product in storms, high winds, or other severe weather. Extreme heat can permanently weaken the magnets; in freezing temperatures components can become brittle, so inspect them before use.
• MAGNET SAFETY. Keep magnets away from pacemakers and other medical devices, credit cards, and electronic media.
• INTENDED USE. For exterior vehicle-body and leash use only — not underwater, on aircraft, or on non-OEM or unknown paint coatings.
