toll tags/rfid on windshield

[segbrk]

My EZ Pass (originating in VA) would not work through the presumably metallic windshield coating. The most effective spot (though not most aesthetic) is the passenger side lower corner. There you will note a section of the windshield that is lacking the metallic coating.

I stick my VA EZPass in the nook behind the glass cockpit on the left side. Haven't had any issues reading it, or if I have I haven't noticed. I have my plates registered as well for the cameras.

My problem is I have the rare "EZPass Flex" (with an HOV slider), so none of the nice little EZPass wraps fit. I'd like to make one if I can't find one, just because in some particularly hard left turns my pass has been known to go flying.

other than camouflage, what does that do for you?

It's purely cosmetic.

There are precious threads on this which I followed. Mine is behind the glass cockpit in a black silicone sleeve.

Hi are you using the Velcro and stick piece ( what ever they call it) to stick it on the dash there ? Thanks

I used this product - silicone case and adhesive strips - to attach to the back of my dash screen assembly:

And have had no issue so far, with either toll collection or transponder remaining in place. This includes several sunny summer days parked outside where cabin temps reached, IIRC, > 120 F.

How did you get it to stick there and not slide when turning ? Did you use the stickies on the surface of the assembly ?

Yes. It’s simply velcro onto the base behind the glass cockpit

2024 AGT.

Mounted the tag behind the glass cockpit. Didn’t work.
Already received 1 violation.

Moved it next to the sun visor. On the glass.
Went to the cash booth yesterday and it looks like the tag won’t work through the glass?

Anyone have any other locations to try?

With the alu roof, mine is just to the right of the mirror assembly at the top of the glass, just below the dot matrix. Has worked fine there so far.

I have mine just under the rear view mirror and it has always worked. It’s also not very visible from the inside.

I did the same for my Tx toll tag and never had any issues with it.

Mine works fine just under the rear view

 

[BillHartman67]

Just tried holding it up under the rear view mirror at Paramus toll plaza didn't work.

Does the glass roof change things?

No issues with mine using the Washington Good-to-Go pass or the California FasTrak transponders under the mirror with the glass roof. I have a suction cup mount that I use to hold the transponders.

Yes, definitely.
The adhesive on the velcro strips that hold the EZPass to the glass liquefies when warm.
I put mine behind the passenger sun visor to hold it in place. Had found the EZPass transponder on the floor several times before I found the right place for it.

 

[Fischman]

I have mine in a suction cup holder right below the rearview mirror.

Same. Works fine.

The windshield was revised since the days of DE. My Touring, build date 1/2023, doesn't have this issue. (Saying this for the benefit of people who may read this and worry that if they buy a newer Air they'll have a problem.)

For the record, I have a March 2022 build date GT that has the metallic windshield.

 

[BK22]

I've found the heat of the windshield is too much for the EZpass adhesive, so I pin it behind the passenger sun visor.

I use plastic clings sheets, like pictured below. Being from Texas, I can tell you that the heat is a non issue.

When it’s time to replace a sticker I just peel of the plastic sheet and apply a new sheet with the new sticker.

how confident are you that its not the tag itself? I have mine behind the glass cockpit inside a silicone cover. have not had issues for months.

This is what I do. Never had a single problem.
