Ours trucks E-ZPass performance with windshield visor?

I'd like to know if anyone uses a windshield transponder with these 87-96 trucks equipped with a sunvisor or moonvisor like the Lund brand or of the like and if they have any trouble with it comunicating with the toll booth readers?

I'm planning on getting E-ZPass in my truck. It has a moonvisor and I wondered if that would interfere with the inside windshield mounted transponder or if I should just pay the extra $7 an get the external transponder to mount on the front plate.

Ok. Thank you.
I guess I'll mount mine on the dash too.

A fiberglass or plastic visor won't cause any issues with the transponder mounted inside the windshield.

Mine is high on windshield behind mirror. No issues with any toll booths at any speed.
The visor hasent made a difference at all.

Ok. Thanks guys.
The E-Z Pass website made me nervous that it may not work properly with some obstructions. Now I'm confident to order the windshield transponder.
