I got my EZpass transponder on the 3rd gen in front of the rear view mirror stuck to the windshield with glued velcro. Tried a couple different types. The hot weather has it falling off constantly, if not that, a slow slide down the glass like a glacier.
What is the best method or material to use? Is there some velcro glue that doesn't melt on a sun baked windshield? I'm in Massachusetts, so there's regions much hotter than mine. I can't always park in the shade.

My tollway transponder (Illinois I-Pass) is also attached behind my rear view mirror with velcro, and it hasn’t moved at all in several years. Maybe the Massachusetts transponder is a lot heavier than the Illinois transponder. I looked it up using google, and it looks a little bigger. Do you have the newer, smaller transponder or the much larger old one? I just bought some random velcro at the store, and it has worked great. My 4Runner is always parked outside, so it’s never away from the sun/heat in the summer.

Are you using one big piece of velcro? If so, I don’t know if it will help you, but the back of the Illinois transponder is sort of rectangular, and I put squares of velcro at the left and right edges of the transponder. So far, so good.

I used some random stuff I bought at Walmart and I think Lowes too. I cut full a full size square for maximum area. But like you said, my old transponder may be bigger. I just bought a Sprinter van and need to register it, I'll see if they give me a new smaller transponder.
 
My toll and hov pass came with the sticky tape attached peeled the sticker, cleaned the glass surface with alcohol pressed it on and 5 years later still good.
