E-Z Pass Transponder problem

[TMartz]

3m has heavy outdoor velcro that is very similar to the easy pass velcro. HD carries it

The dotted windshield area was very hit-or-miss as a mounting spot for my older EZ Pass transponder. So I threw the thing in the glove box more than a year ago as an experiment, and since then it seems to register at the toll every single time.

The better solution would be to finally ditch that old transponder for a new one, but I have other things to do…

Well this is what I get for using youtube as my primary information source. Watched several videos and they all said stay an inch away from any dotted areas on a windshield.

Now... anybody know where to get new velcro-like thingies for re-attaching the transponder to the correct location? Hopefully the original ones can be teased off the windshield and re-used. If not I'm guessing they can be had at turnpike service plazas but if anybody has that info I'd be much obliged.

3M makes some with a white strip on the side that you can use to remove without leaving adhesive on the windshield.

FYI, NYS has a "Green edition" unit for EZ-Pass that gives you a discount. I applied for one, but they sent the standard window mount. I had the license plate one which I had to send back. Removing it wasn't fun. I haven't tried the windshield unit yet, but I was told I could special order a "green" version.

The green ez pass works perfectly when attached to the inside of the windshield in the appropriate area, the spotted area.
