Hi, I have to install an Eastlink electronic tag onto my 1965 Beetle. I'm just wondering whether there are problems placing it on the front windscreen.

My concern is that the window for my Beetle is at only a slight angle compared to modern cars - and I'm worried that installing at the recommended spot - just in front of the rear view mirror - will not work.

Comments anyone?

Our Eastlink tag is located behind the mirror and it beeps and works fine. My mate Russell has a tag on his Beetle also and it works.

i always had mine mounted behind the mirror on my 64' and it worked fine... even stuck it in the ragtop once or twice and it still worked
