Hi,

I mounted my antenna under the luggage box above the driver's side. It involves removing the luggage box and that takes about 10 minutes. I ran the wire from the antenna under the canvas from the leading edge of the top. Just loosen the screws that hold the aluminium retaining strip in place. Wrap some tape around the antenna wire where it will sit under that metal strip. Tighten the strip down. Run the wire down the pillar behind the driver's door, and under the black trim to the carpet, then under the carpet and up through the dash.
