I think because the grille is still mostly under the hood. Could be a fluke that the two booths I went through (Newburgh-Beacon, and Bear Mountain Bridge) read from the roof of the booth. But I don't know where the receiver is on any booth to tell you the truth. I now have the external tag zip-tied to the outside of the grille and that works but is extremely ugly. I will get my front plate bracket mounted at some point...
Another mounting position I have tried was the lower grille in the bumper cover. No luck there either.
Putting it in the back window is interesting to me if anyone else has tried that with EZ-Pass. The only electronic toll boths I've been through in FL used a barcode stuck to the back window (I think).
