Where Should the Toll Tag Go on the New Glass?
SunPass Solar Tint Strip Clearance
The Mini and PRO go on the windshield just below the rearview mirror. Both mount inside the windshield at least 2 inches below any solar tint strip. Measure from the lower edge of the tinted band, not from the top edge of the glass.
Some vehicle models need an externally mounted transponder. Confirm the correct transponder type in the current SunPass instructions and check the vehicle manual before choosing an inside location. The position used on the old glass is not proof that the prior tag was mounted correctly.
A forward-facing ADAS camera often sits behind the rearview mirror, and a rain sensor may occupy part of the same upper-glass area. Keep the toll tag outside the camera’s view, the sensor housing and any restricted zone identified in the vehicle manual. Do not attach the transponder to the camera cover or mounting bracket. Read about windshield-camera service on our ADAS Calibration page.
Placing your SunPass after windshield replacement follows an order: confirm whether the vehicle uses an internal or external unit, mark the required tint-strip clearance, identify the camera and sensor areas, and then check the driver’s view. This order prevents a generic “below the mirror” position from covering vehicle equipment.
For toll transponder windshield placement with a new Mini, hold it against the proposed spot while the adhesive backing remains intact. Press it onto the glass only after the position satisfies the SunPass instructions and vehicle-manual restrictions.
A new Mini gets exactly one placement, because peeling it off the new glass ends its function too. Before exposing the adhesive, sit in the driver’s seat to confirm the spot does not block your view, then check the position from outside.
The new windshield is bonded to the vehicle with urethane around the glass perimeter. Keep dash-camera mounts, other device mounts and their wiring away from that edge, and never tuck a power cable under the windshield moldings. Route cables as the device and vehicle instructions allow, with enough slack that they do not pull on a mount attached to the glass.
When the vehicle requires ADAS recalibration, Bang AutoGlass completes it in the same visit where the procedure can be done on site. Leave the SunPass and dash camera off the new glass until installation and any required recalibration are finished, then place each device outside the area the forward camera looks through.
How Do You Replace a Kings Point Vehicle Decal?
Kings Point issues decals for vehicles owned by residents who are registered at the business office as unit owners, occupants identified as one-year guests or lessees. The resident must present a current Kings Point badge and the vehicle registration. The registration is used to verify that the resident owns the vehicle.
The decal belongs on the lower left-hand corner of the windshield. That position allows security officers to view it clearly. Leave that corner of the new windshield open rather than filling it with a parking sticker, adhesive device or another item that could hide the resident decal.
Eligible residents go to the front gatehouse visitors lane between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM for decal issuance. Confirm the current lane, documents and hours with Kings Point security before going to the gatehouse.
Get the decal after the new windshield is installed. Bang AutoGlass does not issue Kings Point decals.
Kings Point is its own association, with its own governing documents, and is not part of the Sun City Center Community Association. Decal questions go to Kings Point security, not the Community Association.
Resident-owned golf carts also need Kings Point decals, issued at the same visitors lane from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM with a current badge and the cart’s serial number. If the cart needs one too, bring its serial number on the same trip; replacing the car’s windshield does not touch the cart’s decal.
What About Overnight Permits and Guest Passes?
Overnight parking is not allowed in Kings Point parking lots. Approved overnight parking is in the area near the front-entrance tennis courts and requires a permit from the front security gate. The permit is for residents or their house guests, lasts no more than seven days and is limited to one per 90 days.
If an active permit is on the outgoing windshield, call the front security gate before the glass comes out and ask whether it should be redisplayed or reissued, and where it belongs on the new glass. The timing matters: every vehicle parked overnight must display the permit on its windshield, and only one permit is allowed per 90 days, so a permit that leaves with the old glass may not simply be replaced. If the car will sit in the overnight area again, the permit has to be on the new windshield first.
A guest pass follows a different placement rule. The pass issued at the gate goes on the dashboard rather than the windshield. Move it to a protected place during the appointment, then return it to the dashboard without attaching it to the new glass.
Leave Working Room and Arrange Kings Point Gate Access
Before a windshield replacement in Sun City Center, FL, gather the vehicle, glass, parking and access information needed for the appointment.
- Vehicle identification: Have the VIN, year, make and model ready. The VIN helps identify glass built for the correct camera bracket, rain sensor, mirror hardware, acoustic layer and other vehicle-specific features.
- Damage and attached equipment: For a cracked windshield in Sun City Center, state where the crack begins and whether loose glass is present. If the glass is shattered around a bonded device, do not press or pull on that area.
- Room around the vehicle: Park in a safe spot with enough open space for the windshield work. Take every loose item off the dashboard, and make sure the keys are available when the appointment begins.
- Coverage information: Have the current policy details available so Bang AutoGlass can verify coverage before work begins.
Mobile windshield replacement near me means you choose the address where the car can stay during the job. Bang AutoGlass operates mobile-only in Sun City Center and works at a safe parking space at your home, workplace or another address you provide.
For an appointment inside Kings Point, authorize the technician’s entry before the appointment day. Residents authorize non-resident entry by calling the security gate or emailing gate security, and email needs 24 hours’ notice. The gate asks for the resident identification code on the back of the badge, the resident’s name and address, the visitor’s first and last name, the arrival date and the length of stay.
Without prior authorization, the gate has the visitor contact the resident so the resident can call security, so keep your phone nearby on appointment day. Ask security whether a service vehicle receives a different pass type.
After installation, follow the drive-away time provided for the urethane used on the vehicle. Our article on the first 24 hours after windshield replacement covers aftercare.
Schedule With the SunPass and Kings Point Gate Details in Hand

For SunPass after windshield replacement, buy the replacement Mini or take down the PRO before service begins.
Under Florida’s windshield deductible law, the policy's deductible provisions do not apply to windshield damage on a covered vehicle when an authorized insurer delivered or issued the policy in Florida with comprehensive or combined additional coverage. The statute stops at the windshield; it does not cover door, rear or sunroof glass. See the Florida auto glass insurance guide. Before any work, Bang AutoGlass verifies coverage. We help you with the claim and bill your insurer directly. General info, not legal or insurance advice — coverage varies by policy.
Bang AutoGlass uses OEM-quality glass and provides ADAS recalibration in the same visit when the vehicle requires it, where the procedure can be done on site. Installation workmanship is backed by the Bang Lifetime Workmanship Warranty, along with defects in the glass we install, for as long as you own the vehicle.
For a new appointment, use the 24/7 booking number: (877) 994-5277. Hablamos español. Installation hours run Monday through Saturday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
SunPass, Decals and Gate Entry Questions From Sun City Center Drivers
What should I do with the SunPass Mini on my old windshield in Sun City Center?
Plan on replacing it. A Mini no longer works after it is removed from the windshield. A replacement is available from SunPass.com, a walk-in center or retailers such as Publix, CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens. Activate the new Mini through the website, app or customer service, then update the transponder record in your account before depending on it for a toll trip.
How do I choose a SunPass spot when the new glass has a tint strip and camera?
Measure at least 2 inches below the lower edge of the solar tint strip, then compare that area with the vehicle manual. The Mini or PRO should sit inside the windshield without covering the forward camera’s view or the rain-sensor housing. The tag goes near the rearview mirror, but some vehicle models require an externally mounted transponder.
What do I need for a new Kings Point vehicle decal?
Eligible residents must be registered at the business office and present a current Kings Point badge and vehicle registration. Residents go to the front gatehouse visitors lane between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Confirm the current documents, hours and procedure with Kings Point security.
What happens to a Kings Point overnight permit during windshield replacement?
Contact the front security gate before the permitted windshield is removed and ask whether the active permit must be redisplayed or reissued. An overnight permit goes on the windshield, lasts no more than seven days and is limited to one per 90 days. A guest pass follows a different rule and stays on the dashboard.
What comes off the glass before service if I use a SunPass PRO?
The PRO comes off before the windshield work and can stay with your keys because it is portable between vehicles. After the new glass is ready, follow the current SunPass directions for the windshield mount. Only one transponder should remain installed; place any extra portable unit in an RF shield bag.
