Cosmetic Alternatives For EZ Pass Tag!

Just got my first EZ Pass. Don't want any Velcro strips on the interior glass.

Anyone have any suggestions for a workaround?

I here there is some suction cup holder. I called EZ Pass but they do not sell them. Where may I get it?

thx

What is EZ pass? Like for parking garages and stuff? Can you just hold it to the window when you drive through?

Make one .. go to the glass store and ask them for 2 pieces of 1/8" Lexan about 1/4" bigger on all sides than the pass and then go to the Dollar store and get the suction cups that have the tits that go through holes. On one piece of Lexan drill the holes so the tits go through and hold. On the other piece drill the holes larger so the nob part of the tit has clearance. Clean the Lexan with alcohol and place the pass between the 2 pieces and apply a very tiny bead of silicone sealer to one of the Lexan pieces to bond it to the other. Only apply the silicone to the areas between the suction cup holes.

I've seen two different types of stuff. One is a little sack with two suction cups and a velcro closure, its black. The other is a bracket with two suction cups the ezpass slides into it. Either is about $6, at autostores or car washes.

I keep mine in the center console storage area. I just hold it up to the windshield when I get to the toll road.

I almost rear-ended a lady who didn't put her pass up to the windshield in time so she stops and starts waving it around after she had already passed the transponder point. I slam on the brakes, the guy behind me slams on the brakes and the attendant starts yelling for her to move. This was one of those lanes for ez-pass only so you're supposed to keep going.

I've got you covered. Go to Radio Shack and buy a visor clip for a radar detector. They come with a simple metal clip and velcro tape. It goes for a whopping $1.99 or so. Tape it to your EZ-Pass. When I need to use mine, I simply clip it onto my passenger visor and fold it down when I approach the toll booth. Once through, I just fold it back. It stays in my console the rest of the time.

I mounted my clip in the upper left corner of the top of the EZ-Pass so the correct side faces the window. It works like a charm.
