An E-PASS Sticker after windshield replacement cannot go back on the new glass. The Central Florida Expressway Authority, or CFX, says the adhesive Sticker stops functioning once it is removed, so an Orlando replacement plan needs a new Sticker. An E-PASS Uni is removable: take it off before the old windshield comes out, then mount it on the new windshield.
Tell the glass provider which transponder you have before the appointment, along with the ADAS camera, rain sensor, tint band or other equipment around the rearview mirror. CFX's mounting spot is in that same area, and the replacement windshield must match the vehicle's original features.
Do not attach a replacement Sticker to damaged glass. Keep it unmounted until the new windshield is installed, then follow CFX placement instructions.
Which E-PASS Toll Tag Is on Your Orlando Windshield?
Start by identifying the product without peeling it from the glass. The type determines whether it stays with the old windshield or can be removed before the replacement begins.
| Product | How to Treat It on Replacement Day |
|---|---|
| E-PASS Sticker | The adhesive E-PASS tag fixed directly to the windshield. It stays with the old glass because CFX says removal stops it from functioning. |
| E-PASS Uni | The Uni is removable. Take it off before the old glass is removed, protect it during the appointment and mount it on the new windshield according to CFX instructions. |
| SunPass or another product | Follow the product issuer's instructions. Do not assume its removal and transfer rules are the same as the rules for an E-PASS Sticker or Uni. |
If you cannot identify the tag by looking at it, check the product shown in your toll account or contact CFX. Do not peel an adhesive tag to inspect its back; that test alone would make an E-PASS Sticker unusable.
A cracked windshield with an E-PASS Sticker can leave the tag looking intact; it still stays with the old glass. If the glass around the mirror is shattered, leave the tag where it is. Do not press near the damage or reach through loose glass to inspect the transponder.
Before the appointment, take a cabin photo showing the transponder, mirror, camera cover and upper tint band. Photograph the transponder number if it is visible without lifting the tag. The photos record what was on the removed glass; do not touch a cracked area to get them.

Why an E-PASS Sticker After Windshield Replacement Must Be Replaced
CFX's E-PASS installation instructions state that a Sticker will no longer function once removed and cannot be reattached. CFX also says a Sticker cannot move from one vehicle to another. A careful peel does not change that rule.
During Windshield Replacement, the old laminated glass is cut away from the cured urethane bead. The old Sticker leaves with that glass. Peeling it off first changes nothing: it still cannot go on the replacement windshield.
The new glass is checked against the VIN and the equipment around the mirror. Trim comes off as required, the old urethane is cut and the glass is lifted out. The bonding surface is prepared, fresh urethane is applied, the new windshield is seated, and the camera and sensor hardware go back in place. Keep the replacement Sticker off the glass until those steps and any required camera work are complete, then follow the stated safe drive-away time and the vehicle-care instructions for the first 24 hours.
Can I Reuse an E-PASS Sticker if It Looks Undamaged?
No. A peeled Sticker can look undamaged and still be unreadable, because CFX says removal stops it from functioning. Do not test it on a toll road or attach it to the new windshield.
- Check your E-PASS account and record the product type before the appointment.
- Leave the old Sticker attached instead of trying to save it with a scraper.
- Keep any replacement Sticker unmounted until the new windshield is in place.
- Tell the installer about the tag and any equipment behind the rearview mirror.
To replace an E-PASS Sticker on a new windshield, arrange the tag through CFX and mount it only after the glass work is complete.
The E-PASS Service Center on Magnolia Avenue
CFX's E-PASS FAQ tells account holders to contact E-PASS for a replacement Sticker. Do it before the glass appointment, so there is time to ask how the old tag and the replacement should appear on your account.
The E-PASS Service Center is at 525 South Magnolia Ave, Orlando, FL 32801. CFX listed its hours in September 2026 as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Confirm the hours with CFX before you go.
Have your account and vehicle details in hand, and ask:
- What is the current process for replacing a Sticker attached to a windshield being replaced?
- How should the old transponder be treated on the account?
- What vehicle information needs to be checked before the new tag is mounted?
- Are there current pickup, delivery or account steps that must be completed first?
Using an E-PASS Uni on a New Windshield
An E-PASS Uni does not have the Sticker's single-windshield restriction. CFX says a Uni can move to another vehicle in the same class, such as another two-axle vehicle, after the E-PASS account is updated with the new vehicle information.
For a Uni staying with the same vehicle, use this replacement-day order:
- Remove the Uni before the installer begins cutting out the old windshield.
- Store it where it will not be dropped, scratched or left inside the work area.
- Wait until the new glass has been installed and the immediate work is finished.
- Mount the Uni on the new windshield using CFX's stated position.
If the Uni housing or mounting components are damaged, contact an E-PASS representative before relying on it.
Where to Place E-PASS on a New Windshield
Mounting a toll tag on a new windshield in Orlando begins with CFX's placement rule. CFX tells drivers to mount an E-PASS Sticker or Uni behind or below the rearview mirror and below any tinting at the top of the windshield. Start there, then work around the camera bracket and sensor housing fitted to your vehicle.
- Choose a position behind or below the mirror rather than inside the upper tint band.
- Do not cover the forward-facing ADAS camera lens or place the tag across a sensor housing.
- Follow the current CFX instructions for your specific product.
- Clean and dry the selected glass area before attaching the tag.
A photo of the old mounting position shows where the tag was, not that the spot was correct. Before pressing an adhesive Sticker onto the glass, sit in the driving position, confirm the tag does not cover camera hardware or your view, and compare the spot with CFX's instructions. A Sticker allows no second attempt, so choose the area before removing its backing.
Metal-Oxidized Windshields and Toll-Transponder Reads
CFX warns that certain vehicles have metal-oxidized windshields that can inhibit a Uni from being read. On a metal-oxidized windshield, toll-transponder performance cannot be judged by looking at the glass. Select the replacement from the vehicle information and the original glass features, not from a generic piece that only matches the size.
When you book, tell us about the Uni, give the VIN and mention any head-up display, acoustic layer, rain sensor, heating feature or camera bracket on the existing windshield. Those details separate glass options that look alike until they are installed.
Leave Room for the ADAS Camera and Rain Sensor
The forward-facing ADAS camera is commonly mounted near the rearview mirror, which is also the CFX mounting area. A replacement windshield must have the correct bracket and optical area for that equipment. The toll tag should not block the camera's view or interfere with a rain sensor attached to the glass.
If the vehicle calls for it, we complete ADAS Calibration during the windshield appointment. Plugging the camera back in only restores the connection; calibration is a separate, vehicle-specific procedure.
E-PASS Not Reading After Windshield Replacement on Orlando Roads
After mounting the tag, check your E-PASS account once transactions from the first few trips have posted. If you already drive SR 408 or SR 417, those normal trips are the test; there is no need for a separate toll-road run.
CFX describes SR 408, the Spessard L. Holland East-West Expressway, as a 22-mile toll road running from Florida's Turnpike near Ocoee through downtown Orlando to SR 50, or Colonial Drive, east of Alafaya Trail.
CFX says all Florida-accepted transponders on two-axle vehicles work on the I-4 Express lanes, so an I-4 Express commute is a normal trip to check as well. That rule covers the product and vehicle class, not a badly placed tag or wrong vehicle details on the account.
If expected activity does not appear, check these items before moving the transponder:
- Confirm that the account lists the correct vehicle and license plate information.
- Check that the tag is below the tint band and in the CFX mounting area.
- Make sure the tag does not sit on a camera cover or other removable trim.
- Contact an E-PASS representative if the expected transaction remains absent.
When contacting CFX, give the date, approximate time, roadway, direction of travel, plate and transponder number for one specific trip.
If a newly mounted E-PASS Sticker after windshield replacement does not appear to be reading, do not peel it off to try another position; ask an account representative what to check next.
A Uni can be moved, but repositioning it does not fix an account mismatch or a windshield compatibility issue. Check the account first, then the mounting position against CFX's current instructions.
How Florida's Windshield Coverage Rule Fits In
Under Florida Statutes § 627.7288, the deductible does not apply to windshield damage when an authorized insurer issued or delivered the motor vehicle policy in Florida and that policy includes comprehensive coverage. The statute limits this rule to the windshield.
The statute says nothing about a replacement E-PASS Sticker, so ask CFX about the tag and your insurer how your policy applies to the windshield.
Bang AutoGlass verifies coverage before any work, helps you with the claim and bills the insurer directly when the claim applies. Our Florida auto glass insurance guide explains the windshield-only scope of the statute and the information to have ready.

Questions Orlando Drivers Ask About E-PASS on Replacement Glass
Do I need a new E-PASS Sticker when my Orlando windshield is replaced?
Yes. CFX says the adhesive Sticker stops working once removed from its original windshield, so it cannot be transferred to the replacement glass. Leave the old tag attached, contact E-PASS for the replacement, and keep the new Sticker unmounted until the windshield installation is finished.
What happens to an E-PASS Uni when a windshield is replaced?
Remove the Uni before the old windshield comes out and store it where it will not be damaged. Once the new glass is installed, mount the Uni behind or below the rearview mirror and beneath the upper tint band. Follow CFX instructions and avoid blocking the ADAS camera or rain sensor.
Where should E-PASS go on a new Orlando windshield?
CFX instructs drivers to place an E-PASS Sticker or Uni behind or below the rearview mirror and below any tinting at the top of the windshield. The transponder should not cover a camera lens or sensor housing. Check the vehicle and transponder instructions before choosing the final position.
Why is my E-PASS not reading after windshield replacement?
Check that the transponder is mounted in the CFX-approved area, that the correct vehicle appears on the account and that recent transactions have posted. A metal-oxidized windshield can inhibit a Uni. Do not peel off a newly installed Sticker to reposition it because removal stops it from functioning. Contact an E-PASS representative instead.
