    Satelite Radio in Wrangler


    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?

    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

    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.

    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.....
