Nope. It will work fine. The suggestestion is usually to keep it out of
the way, like field of vision. It'll even work inside and not on the
windshield but may have a degraded signal if blocked by metal

Got a Sirius receiver for x-mas... wanted to hook it up to my Jeep.
Instructions say to place antenna on rear window...obviously that
can't be done. Any reason it can't be stuck to the front winshield on
the inside?

I put my antenna under the padding on the roll bar and then ran the wire
under the pads to the radio. Works like a charm and keeps everything out of
the way. We have a soft top so you would have to check for a good signal if
you have a hard top.

That really gets good reception under the top? I have it above one of
the tail lights but it's not so good. I've got a metal roof rack over
my soft top..was thinking about sticking it to that but that certainly
isn't ideal. On the roll bar... huh...
I would install it on the cowl right infront of the windshield.. it should
work fine there..

No reception problems at all with the soft top. We used to have it mounted
outside near the windshield and would lose signal if we were angled wrong
and the antenna lead was exposed also. Didn't like that as I was afraid I
would snag it on something.
If your roof rack has a large opening mesh bed I wouldn't expect much loss.
Can't hurt to try anyhow.

If all else fails - READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
or if you like

I've seen them on the cowl next to the air intake grill with a hardtop.
Ditto the idea with a soft top, I figure you can place it on the roll bar or
soundbar if you have one just under the top.....
