Re: sirius antenna help
Shelly's was mounted on the peice of molding between the trunk and the convertible top. It is metal so the magnetic antenna sticks to it.

Re: sirius antenna help
yep. That is the only place it would stick. The trunk is not metal

Re: sirius antenna help
I've seen it stuck to the glass on the windshield right behind the rear-view mirror. Cut you a small piece of double sided tape and run it there. Just make sure your slack is on the receiver end so it's easier to hide the wire.

Re: sirius antenna help
My XM didn't work very well inside the car. Reception would drop in and out sometimes. It's not mounted on the back glass and works great, though. I recommend the place Brian mentioned since it's a vert and the back glass wouldn't work too well.

Re: sirius antenna help
Yeah where they said. I definately wouldn't do it inside unless that was the only way out.

Re: sirius antenna help
I agree with Lee. Mine's the exact opposite though, I have plastic trim and a metal decklid, so mine is mounted on the trunk lid.

Re: sirius antenna help
little off topic but are you guys/gals using the "micro" antennas? If so....how are the results compared to the "larger", NON-micro antennas?

Re: sirius antenna help
they lose signal just a bit faster than the larger ones do. I used to never have a problem going under bridges. In fact it's still not a problem but once in a while I'll briefly lose signal.
