I hadn't thought about finding some alternate spot for it.
I do hold the card against the glass, and that seems to work fine MOST (but definitely not ALL) of the time.

My buddy has a Honda Pilot, and he has the disc in the side-view mirror. It works about as well as the method of holding the card to the window, which is to say, it works most of the time, but certain gates just won't read it, and at some he has to drive that side-view mirror about an inch from the reader. It's fun to watch him do that.
I did the same and enjoy using mine in a 2020 Honda CRV. I installed 3 discs in different positions inside the mirror to then work at any gate.
