Default Satelite antenna location

Where are you guys mounting the small antenna for your satelite radio? Have a 2011 JKU and just bought a satelite radio and don't know where to mount the outside satelite antenna. Help!!!!

I mounted mine on top of the roll bar under the roll bar pad cover. The magnet stuck to the roll bar.

The factory mounts it on the top of the B Pillar.

I have had mine mounted in the middle of the roll bar that goes across. I ran the wire through the padding. Just unzip add wire and zip back up. I wasn't sure how the signal would be with the hard top but it works perfect.

On the hood, for 2 yrs now, ran the cable through the firewall, drivers side through one of the grommets. Missing that stick on hold down for the cable now that I look at the picture, but I have a spare somewhere I'll dig up..

Mine is mounted on the cowl. It lost reception after I put on the gobi rack so I moved it. Not too hard.
