so i've got the sirius radio magnetic mount antenna, i tried putting the wire through the hole on the drivers side so i could mount the antenna on my hood, but the plug at the end of the wire was too big to fit through. right now i have it mounted inside but my radio cuts out alot, i put it on top of my hardtop just to see if it'll still cut off, and it worked fine. so bottom line is i need to figure out a way to mount it outside the jeep.

anybody have any opinions of where i could put it? i was thinking about trying to attach it to the tailgate next.

 

The factory antenna is a magnet mount as well, it mounts over the passengers head on the sound bar.

That's a link to the mopar installation manual for the mopar kit at quadratec. Looks like a pain in the ass, but it's a great location and it's completely hidden!

 

I mounted mine over the sound bar/roll bar no problems with service or signal.

 

well i had it tucked under my dash, so i'll try putting it on top of the roll bar and see if it helps.

 

Put mine on top of the windshield on the metal. Ran the wire down the driver side a pillar. working well so far.

 

I WILL fit through the hole...take a wire coat hanger and work a bunch of the foam out to widen the hole. Then tape the coat hanger to the end of the antennae and push it through...took me a while, but i finally got it.

Here is where the factory one mounts, I installed mine here and have had zeros problems.

 

alright so i tried mounting it on the roll bar but it still cuts out, i figured my hardtop must be interfering with the signal somehow.

so today i ran the wire through the tailgate and mounted it next to my tire carrier, the same way i did it with my cb radio coax cable, so hopefully it works now.

 

Mounted mine on top of roll bar underneath padding. Works fine even with hard top on
