I have mine at the top of the A pillar, just low enough to be under the visor with it turned down, and kinda tucked back towards the windshield.

Windows up, no complaints.

Windows down, minor complaints.

Top off & windows up, no complaints.

Top off & windows down, same minor complaints as windows down.

My mic is at the very top of the A pillar and the wire is completely hidden which looks really clean.
