Sirius Antenna under rear sunroof?
Hey Guys, I am thinking of relocating my Sirius antenna under the rear sunroof. I am making a tiny bracket ( will show pics soon ) that will hold it right under the glass but above the roll-up cover.
Do you think there will be any issues with reception? It is practically on top of the roof at that point but just under glass...will glass interfere with a satellite signal?

I connected mine to run on the top/left [looking at the rear of the car] of the trunk [since thats the only flat && magnetic part I can figure... I've got an Inv2 that had everything except an AUX cord [which I thankfully had on hand because the FM transmitter was pathetic quality]. Its 12:48AM here, but when the sun comes up i'll take pictures in the light and show you exactly what I did/where I ran it. I'm 17 and it only took me about 20 minutes to run the cords without even lifting up any trim :D.
Btw, the rear trunk was the highest signal I could get after moving it around the car since there's nothing above it. When the trunk went up 12" I lost signal pretty quickly. I think your just better off putting it in a similar place as me.

i mounted my satelite radio antenna at the top of the trunk glass. i took a small amount of 100% silicone and set it right on the glass and have no issue with the signal strength. its been on the car for 2 years now with out any sign of movement. Best part is it doesnt scratch the paint. i will post pictures later today.

pics please! i have mine mounted next to the antenna and i loose signal a lot. i'm not sure if its cause the spolier covers some of it or it interacts with the stock antanne... i need a new location. i would like to have it inside but i dont know how you guys mounted it on the sunroof... need pics!
