This is not optimal, but

I installed a glass mount antenna. It has adhesive on the wired side, as
well as the outside antenna mounting.  It's not a great idea to mount an
antenna on the side of a vehicle like that, but I didn't want to limit
my garage access.

I tried installing a gutter mount, but found that it interfered with the
luggage rack or poptop depending on where I tried to locate it.  Radio
shack had gutter mounts that had a button you could press in that would
allow you to put the antenna 90 degrees forward or back.  I had one like
that installed on my rabbit.. but if I recall correctly, I just couldn't
get it mounted well on the westy..
