  • placement of sat antenna

    just wondering, could i place the sirius antenna on the back glass, instead of putting it on the roof and maybe damaging the paint?

    one guy I know put it under his hood, course he has a fiberglass hood.


    I'd consider seeing if I coudl run and some how put it underneath the spoiler. Since apparently it works through fiberglass.


    Actually if you have hardtop, coudl probably put above the headliner.

          Cool, I'd pull the headliner and mount it on top fo the t-bar...

          not sure what your antennae looks like or how big it is.

          But I would mount it towards the middle of the roof. Right inside one of the weatherstripping channels here, and run the cable down through a pillar to whereever it has to go...

                I just stuck mine on one of those tie down hooks behind the back seat and ran the wire straight forward under the seat. The reception isn't bad, and I didn't want anything I couldn't remove easily because I have an XM MyFi that's pretty easy to move between cars.

                  Mine is one of the older non-magnetic antennas. I secured it high on the back glass, just low enough so that there's no clearance problem when I pop the hatch. Works great. Been there nearly 2 years. Kinda has a shark's fin look to it.
