Sirius satellite radio antenna install help needed
Hi
I'm trying to install the magnetic antenna mount that came with my Sirius satellite radio and I need to route the thin antenna cable along the rear window underneath the rubber molding. They say to use a plastic knife or other blunt object to lift the rubber window molding and tuck the cable underneath. Getting the molding "lifted" is not so easy, plus I'm afraid I'm going to damage it. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks! Boatman |

BTW, I forgot to mention the car is a 98 Buick Le Sabre 4 door sedan.

You could try a plastic paint scraper, which has a bit longer edge to lift the molding away with -- Knifeblade_03 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Knifeblade_03's Profile: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...?userid=262826 View this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=567998 http://www.automotiveforums.com |

Your ant. may work fine if you just put it on the parcel shelf in the back. Mine is very happy there and I very rarely get dropped signal. You can also go in from the trunk lid and run the cable around the side of the back seat. I saw those instructions about going through the window gasket.... Can't figure how they think people are going to do that and not cause leaks. Steve B. |

Sirius satellite radio antenna install help needed
I tried putting the antenna underneath the front windshield, which on the Le
Sabre has a pretty sharp angle, as far forward as I could. The reception seems to be excellent. I'll try it for a few days and see. Thanks for the tip.
