I had my antenna in the windshield on my Bonneville, and it worked fine unless I had the windshield wipers on ;-) I think mounting it in the windshield or back glass only works well if the slant on the window is drastic and there's a large portion of the sky exposed. Glass itself will not block recpetion, but if you have a windshield that is more vertical than horizontal, you will not be happy.

Like I stated before, I experienced no unusual dropouts in my install...I'll take and post pictures this weekend. I already promised I'd do that once, so I need to get off my @ss and get 'er done.

My install too 5 minutes, and would take 1 minute to remove to install in a rental or other car.

Here's my Sirius installation...it takes just a few minutes, doesn't modify your car at all, and can be removed in less than a minute. You can also tuck the antenna and wires to hide them when you park if you're afraid of theft. I take the receiver with me into the office at work, and don't hide anything else.

Here's the view of the Starmate Replay



Another shot



It stays plugged in



The antenna. I ran the wire down beside the DS seat.



If someone notices this from the outside of the car, they're good.



Hope this helps...

He is a good antenna for mounting on the inside for the Sirius.

I finally set up the XM radio. I mounted the antenna on one of the rear speakers and ran the wires similar to the pictures that ShoddyHog has posted. It works great.

Thanks for everyone's advice.

Here is my XM install and antenna. The installer was able to mount the bracket coming out through the plastic trimwork so no cutting or holes were involved. The antenna ran under the dash, through the floorboard, out a built in hole behind back seat, and around the rear window seal. I get great reception.
