They rely only on the cohesive properties of vinyl-to-a-non-porous surface.  I tried using some of the 'dry vinyl' sheets from Cricut (the plastic decal printer company.)  They have a couple of colors without adhesive that they call "window cling" but they aree only 4 mills thick and a bit flimsy, though so-far they are holding ok.

Yes, that's it.  I would think those will work fine.  I remember having something similar as a kid and what I remember is that the thickness was similar to that of DECtape "little blue things".
