A toll tag on a new windshield depends on the device: a suction-cup E-PASS Uni comes off and goes back on, while an adhesive E-PASS Sticker has to stay with the old glass. CFX’s E-PASS installation instructions say an E-PASS Sticker operates only while affixed to a glass windshield; once removed, it no longer functions and cannot be reattached. An E-PASS Sticker on a new windshield therefore cannot be the label peeled from the damaged glass.
For SunPass after windshield replacement, read the exact product name in the SunPass account and follow that product’s instructions. Do not copy the E-PASS rules onto a different device. Remove a portable SunPass product before glass work only when its own instructions say it is removable.
Leave a bonded Sticker in place, photograph its printed number, and contact E-PASS Customer Support about a replacement before your next trip on SR 429 or Florida’s Turnpike.
Why SR 429 Puts the Tag Decision on the Appointment List
The CFX profile for State Road 429, also called the Daniel Webster Western Beltway, describes nearly 23 miles from U.S. Highway 441 in Apopka south to Interstate 4 in Osceola County. CFX says the road gives West Orange and Osceola counties an alternate north-south route to I-4 and greatly improves access to Florida’s Turnpike.
Decide before the windshield is cut from its urethane bond. That avoids discarding a portable unit with the old glass, trying to reuse a dead Sticker, or placing a new adhesive tag before the mirror, camera housing, and rain sensor are back in position.
For windshield replacement in Winter Garden, FL, provide the year, make, model, and VIN. Include any camera or rain sensor at the mirror so the glass configuration and required ADAS work can be identified before the mobile visit.
Sticker, Uni, or Another Device: Read the Product Name
Look at the mount before reading the logo. The E-PASS Sticker is a thin, flat label bonded directly to the windshield. The Uni is a hard-case device held by suction cups, with the Uni logo upright when mounted. A SunPass logo identifies the issuer, but the exact product name determines whether that unit can be detached.
| Device | How it looks | Can the old unit move? | Before the replacement glass |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-PASS Sticker | Flat adhesive label bonded to the glass | No. Removal ends its use, and it cannot move from car to car. | Photograph its number and ask E-PASS Customer Support for replacement instructions. |
| E-PASS Uni | Hard case on suction cups; the logo sits upright | Yes. CFX allows a move when the account’s vehicle information is updated. | Remove it and store it outside the work area. |
| SunPass device | Check the product name and mounting method | Confirm with SunPass. | Record the number and follow that product’s removal, account, and mounting instructions. |
Match the number printed on the device with the number shown in the toll account. If the account lists several tags, identify the product and assigned vehicle for each one before changing anything. Do not assume the device nearest the mirror is the active unit.
Do not lift a corner to test whether a flat label is portable; identify it through its product name and account record. The E-PASS windshield replacement rule leaves no hand-held option either: CFX says a Sticker cannot be hand-held and operates only when affixed to glass.
To move an E-PASS Uni to another car, update the vehicle information on the E-PASS account. If it returns to the same car after only the windshield changes, check that the account still lists that vehicle and license plate. Mount it only after the new interior glass is clean and dry.
For a SunPass windshield replacement in Winter Garden, confirm the exact device in the SunPass account before detaching it. Contact SunPass when the product instructions do not answer the transfer or mounting question.
CFX says only one transponder should be installed in a vehicle to avoid duplicate charges. Do not mount a replacement Sticker while a Uni remains installed, and remove a second installed portable tag.
Before the Windshield Replacement visit starts, decide which device will serve as the toll tag on a new windshield and tell us which one is on the vehicle.
Finish This Six-Point Check Before the Glass Is Lifted
- Photograph the tag in place. Capture a close image of the product name and printed number, then a wider image showing the mirror, top tint, camera housing, and rain sensor. Do this before a crack spreads across the label or the old glass is removed.
- Open the toll account. Match the transponder number to the account, then verify the vehicle description and license plate. Correct a mismatch through the issuer’s process before the tag goes back onto new glass.
- Name the device. Write down Sticker, Uni, or the exact SunPass product. If the mount or account does not make the type clear, contact the issuer instead of peeling anything.
- Take off reusable hardware. Remove the Uni or another device that its issuer classifies as portable. Keep the suction cups away from dirt and glass fragments, and do not scrape at a bonded Sticker.
- Record the vehicle equipment. Have the year, make, model, and VIN ready. Note a forward-facing ADAS camera, rain sensor, mirror-mounted equipment, or windshield description found in the vehicle records.
- Call the right issuer. Ask E-PASS Customer Support for Sticker replacement and activation instructions. Ask SunPass about the exact product. Do not assume the process, timing, or charge for either issuer.
If a crack crosses the printed number, use the toll-account record and wider photograph to connect the physical label with the correct vehicle.
Leave any replacement adhesive tag unattached until the windshield, rearview mirror, camera cover, and sensor trim are fully installed. The device issuer, not the old tag’s outline on the removed glass, controls the final mounting point. Replacement glass can present a different usable area around camera and mirror hardware.
Where Should the Toll Tag on a New Windshield Sit?
For a driver deciding where to put a toll sticker on a new windshield, CFX gives three controls: put E-PASS behind or below the rearview mirror, keep a Sticker below any tinting at the top of the glass, and clean and dry the surface before attaching the transponder.
- Refit the center hardware first. Wait until the rearview mirror, camera housing, sensor covers, and nearby trim are in their finished positions before selecting an area of glass.
- Stay below the top tint. The Sticker cannot overlap tinting at the upper edge under CFX’s instructions.
- Prepare only the chosen spot. Clean and dry the inside glass where the adhesive or suction cups will make contact.
- Protect the vehicle equipment. Keep the tag, adhesive, and suction cups outside the ADAS camera’s forward view and off the rain sensor.
Choose the Sticker position before exposing its adhesive. It gets one placement attempt because removing it ends its function. Check the spot against CFX’s placement instructions, then press it onto cleaned and dried glass.
Recheck the camera and rain sensor before pressing any tag onto the glass. For the Uni, hold the case with the logo upright, place it behind or below the mirror, and press until the suction cups hold firmly. Do not lay the Uni loose on the dashboard or console as a substitute for the windshield position specified by CFX.
A toll sticker after windshield replacement goes on glass only, never on the camera cover, mirror trim, or another plastic panel.
Camera Glass and Coatings Narrow the Mounting Area
A forward-facing ADAS camera looks through a defined section near the rearview mirror, while a rain sensor can occupy another section of the same area. A tag should not cover either component or interrupt the camera’s view through the windshield.
Windshield replacement can change the camera’s optical relationship with the glass. The vehicle’s required procedure determines whether recalibration is needed. Bang AutoGlass uses OEM-quality glass and completes ADAS Calibration in the same visit when the vehicle requires it.
Keep the transponder off the center glass while the mirror hardware, camera cover, and sensor parts are restored and any required recalibration is performed. Attach or remount the device after that equipment has reached its final position.
CFX says certain vehicles have metal oxidized windshields, which can inhibit a Uni transponder from being read. If a remounted Uni goes unread on that glass, give the windshield description to E-PASS Customer Support.
If the windshield is polarized, CFX tells E-PASS owners to contact E-PASS Customer Support before installing for information on proper placement.
Use the First SR 429 Trips as a System Check
After the first SR 429 trip with the replacement glass, review the posted account activity to confirm that your SR 429 toll pass, the new mount, and the account assignment work together.
- Count the devices. Confirm that only the intended transponder is installed before leaving.
- Verify the account link. Match the device number, license plate, and vehicle description.
- Inspect the mount. Check that the Sticker sits below the tint or the Uni logo is upright, with the camera and sensor clear.
- Review posted transactions. After the next SR 429 or Turnpike trips, compare the account entries with the roads and trip dates, then save a photograph of the new placement.
When SunPass Is Not Working After a New Windshield
When SunPass is not working after a new windshield, open the instructions for the exact product. Confirm the account status, listed vehicle and plate, required mounting location, and orientation. If the directions do not match the placement on the glass, contact SunPass before changing an adhesive device.
For an unread E-PASS Sticker, do not peel it off to test another location because removal makes it unusable. Record the road, trip date, transponder number, and transaction shown in the account, then contact E-PASS Customer Support for the agency’s review process. Retain the tag photographs until the posted activity matches the intended device.
Keep the Insurance Check Separate From the Toll Account
Florida Statute § 627.7288 waives the comprehensive deductible for windshield damage under a policy with comprehensive coverage. That windshield-specific waiver does not extend to a replacement toll sticker or to door, rear, quarter, or sunroof glass. The toll device remains an issuer matter.
Bang AutoGlass verifies coverage before any work, helps you with the claim, and bills the insurer directly. Review the policy issues through our Florida auto glass insurance page before authorizing replacement. Direct E-PASS and SunPass product questions to the applicable toll issuer.
General info, not legal or insurance advice — coverage varies by policy.

Winter Garden Drivers Sorting Out the Toll-Tag Handoff
My E-PASS Sticker is still on the cracked windshield. Should I peel it off before the glass appointment?
Leave it attached and photograph the printed number and its position. CFX says the Sticker stops functioning once removed, cannot be reattached, and cannot be held against the glass for use. Contact E-PASS Customer Support for replacement and activation instructions rather than trying to preserve the old label.
Can my E-PASS Uni go back on the replacement windshield in the same car?
Yes. Remove the Uni before the old windshield comes out and protect its suction cups from dirt and glass fragments. On clean, dry glass, hold the Uni logo upright, place the device behind or below the rearview mirror, and press until the suction cups hold firmly. Confirm that the account still lists the correct vehicle and plate.
Where can I mount a toll tag if the mirror area contains a camera?
CFX directs E-PASS users to mount the transponder behind or below the rearview mirror and keep a Sticker below top-of-windshield tinting. Do not cover the ADAS camera’s view or a rain sensor. CFX warns that metal oxidized windshields can inhibit Uni reads. For a polarized windshield, contact E-PASS Customer Support before installation for placement information.
Which account fields should I check before my first SR 429 trip after replacement?
Confirm that the intended transponder is active and assigned to the correct vehicle and license plate. CFX says only one transponder should be installed in the vehicle to avoid duplicate charges, so remove any second installed device. After the first trips on SR 429 or Florida’s Turnpike, review the posted toll transactions and contact the issuer about a mismatch.
