In our 83 westy I didn't want to snake the cable outside or mess w/ the screen to get the antenna under the luggage rack so we simply placed it just forward of the passenger-side pop-top strut mount. Cable moves backward then dips behind the trim, hides behind the door trim/seal, then comes out @ the bottom and runs underneath the carpet and up the dash. The hardest part was snaking it behind the dash with that stupid non-working Behr a/c taking up all the space. Works great.
