If I remember correctly, there will be a hole there after you take it off.

The antenna for 2006 and later models is in the outside mirrors.

If you aren't subscribing to XM anymore, you can get an '06 and up halo to replace it.

All of the above.

'05 was the only year with the XM 'wart' antenna.

There will be a hole but you can replace the halo.

Might be an opportunity to do the black roof w/dark tinted windows, appearance mod.
