e-tag mounting

[The_Hawk]

Maybe I'm over thinking this, but are the stickers on the E-Way toll tags all upside down?

Here's some photo of the real tag ontop of the instructions. So if you mount it so you can slide the tag out of it's mount to replace it or move it between cars the sticker is upside down from the drivers perspective. Even from the outside the sticker on that side is upside down.

If you flip it around so it's up the right way (which is what I did when I installed it into the wifes car year ago) and you put it next to your rearview mirror as shown in the picture you can no longer slide the tag off the mount (as it now hits the mirror mount).

I know I'm crazy and these things shouldn't bother normal people, but it's these sort of things I notice










My only rational explanation is that the tag is designed to side away behind the rearview mirror in left hand drive cars which would make the mount slide the correct way with stickers up the correct way... and when the tag company ordered the tags the company set the artwork up like they "normally" would and it ends up upside down in Australia with our right hand drive cars...

And no one noticed... and no one has bothered to fix it in all the years they have been made either...

It is because we are down under

Just put it on the left of the mirror and have it slide to the left to lock in.
How often are you gonna need to remove it anyway ? Once when you sell the car or 10years when the battery dies.
Oh you still get those big chunky tags down south? New qld ones are a lot smaller.

If it bugs you then I would just remove the offending sticker problem solved . dampen the sticker with some GP thinners it will peel away easily .

Haha this is a real first world problem to have.

Don't think mine came with a sticker though, and it is mounted all the way in the top corner of the passenger side. Made sure it slid away from the edges though !

Previously I had the big old style one and even that is not visible from the drivers seat so this smaller one will disappear even more. In the Cabriolet anything at the top of the windscreen is pretty much out of view thanks to a wider panel that the roof locks into.
