I read in some past posts that you use double stick tape to post the antenna for the Sirius radio on the car. Where is the best spot, and, is there a great double stick tape that is waterproof?? Inside the window, on the dash, is just not cutting it!!!

I have no reception problems with mine next to the defrost vent.


If you are going to use double sided tape for another location, don't use the stuff for carpet/flooring.

I used velcro stickers on mine.

I'll try to get some pictures but I mounted my antenna on the gas door (exterior mounting). Tried several places and had a hard time with reception. Ran the wire under the weatherstripping.

mine is on the painted panel where the hatch opens.

I stuck it there with 3M exterior trim adhesive tape.

So it has tape all over the antenna? Or just on the bottom? Stays on good during rain and washing the car?

just the bottom... I took three 1/2" strips and stuck them to the bottom of the antenna, trimmed the tape to match the shape of the antenna and stuck it in the center. I ran the wire under the weatherstrip and into the halo cover.
