Toll/Turnpike Sticker Problems

Alright, I got an Oklahoma Pike Pass sticker (I imagine it's the same as any other toll road or turnpike sticker) and can't get it to work for me. Wanting to know if anyone else has had any issues with it on their 86 or any other vehicle.

1. I have 50% tint on my windshield. Don't know what brand or whether or not it is metallic at all.

2. I 'installed' it by taping it to my windshield using Scotch tape right below and to the right a little of the rear view mirror.

I went through first toll area and no light came on so it must not have been recognized. Before I got to the exit, I peeled the backing off as if I were going to stick it to my windshield and just held it up, still nothing. I plan on driving back through it sometime and holding it outside the vehicle to verify it's activated and functioning properly, but wanted some feedback first.

The Oklahoma Turnpike Authority states it MUST be adhered to the glass windshield for it to function properly. I don't understand why that would make any difference, but it seems like maybe any air between the sticker and the glass could cause a problem. So if anyone knows how these work and could explain it to me I would appreciate it. Or have any ideas why mine wouldn't be working.

Not sure if this thread is the right place for this or not... but it is an electronic device.
