Here is another double sided tape that works well with glass and smooth plastic.  Available many places.

i usually try to just tuck the antenna jusr inside the headliner or attach it behind the a pillar panel. it make for a stealthy install. you can get a roll of the 3m trim tape (thin gray kind) at adavance auto or you can find the same thing packaged differently at lowes at half the price.
1. Please tell me that you inform the vehicle owner that when you install in 'stealth' mode that their operating range is going to be horribly short compared to mounting it as the manufacturer of the system recommends.
2. I would be greatly interested in a brand/make/part number for a double faced tape that works as well as the 3M stuff. I agree it is expensive, but for smooth surface mounting I have found no other tape that works as well.
i only try to do the stealthy install on my personal vehicles, when i can use a little trial and error to make sure that i have the range i need. on customer cars i would mount the antenna per the manu. instr. to avoid any headache with any rework.
