Your new RFID permit should be attached to the inside of your vehicle’s front windshield in the horizontal position with the “VCU” lettering facing towards the outside of the windshield. If your mirror is mounted to the interior header of your vehicle, measure 3” down from the top. If your vehicle’s mirror is mounted to the windshield, measure ½” below the rearview mirror mount. The permit should be centered just above the AS-1 line, behind the rear view mirror.
