SO I went ahead and got Sirius for my Deck and Now I need a place to mount the Antenna, only thing is Unless I mount it on the hood between my washers It seems like theres a lot of work involed

I really want to mount it on the roof in the back of the car but every pic Ive seen of this type of mounting looks like its comming from the gasket that holds the rear window in

So anyone have any suggestions, I dont want to have to run the wire thru or around any gaskets so I dont have to worry about leaks, and it just looks plain dumb on the hood

BTW the cars a 2004 Civic Sedan

Thanks all

put it on the trunk lid, by the back window, then run the wire into the trunk, that is by far the easiest way to do, hardly any work involved, i do tons of cars this way.

put it on the rear deck (if no tint) or on the dash. About 99% of the ones we do the antenna is in the car with no customer complaints.

Anybody seem to notice how much more Sirius loses signal compared to XM?? We seem to find no matter where we mount the Sirius antenna, we get a lot of customer complaints. I guess it is because Sirius doesn't use repeaters on the ground like XM

I can't complain about the signal from sirius around here, in our shop we can have the door closed and still get a signal. it is a small shop and ther is only one small westward facing window.

XM generally does have stronger signal, you can get a XM signal with Sirius antenna's

AS Director of IT for my company its worded into my lovley employee contract, I slip stuff like that into all of my contracts when I go work for someone or I dont work for them, Money is good to have but perks are sometimes alot better

My perks for this job are

1. Free Sirius cause im on the road between offices alot

2. Free Cell Service

3. Unlmited Software License for any software I wish up to $1,000 per license

4. 4 Weeks Paid vacation with 1 year rollover

All this offsets the lower pay I receive from them.
