That's the antenna for the nav, and the metal lock box now covers the signal. This is what kept me from this purchase.

I'm sure you relocated the GPS according to the instructions, correct? After doing so, it still takes a little bit of driving to get it "calibrated" again, but it'll be fine.

Ah ha...in that case, you can find some install instructions for it on our website - https://www.tuffyproducts.com/images...st/160INST.pdf There may be some variation to those instructions as there was a product mod several years ago...
