I might have to. I figured the 6 inch galvanized steel disc might do the trick like others.

 

Didn't work for me, same problem unfortunately. I was hoping someone might be kind enough to take a photo of their antenna set up so I can compare to mine, maybe I have bad placement or something.

 

I don't have a photo, but the metal disc is in the middle of the Bose 6x9 covers in the rear deck. My GPS antenna is on there too.

 

So its not touching the glass or anything? I have mine touching the glass with the antenna also very near the glass.


Here are a couple pictures. Sorry its dark and they didn't come out great. I tried with the antenna right touching the glass and back 4-5 inches. Heres an idea of what I am trying and not getting much luck with signal holding.

 

i ran my antenna to the front of the car, through the vents that defrost the front windshield, smack in the middle - works great, i hardly drop signal......just some advice

 

o.p., i've wired mine just as you did and never dropped the signal. however, my receiver unit is grounded to the car. have you tried grounding it yet?

 

Mine is mounted like that, but isn't as close to the glass.
