Mike, do not put the antenna under the luggage  rack.  When the luggage rack
is full of cargo it will block the  signal.  BTDT.  I have now mounted mine on
the right hand corner of  the luggage rack on the surface of the Fiberglas
with double sided tape and a  piece of plate steel on the back side of the
Fiberglas.  It is working  perfectly there.  I ran the antenna wire behind the
dash, up the windshield  post, tucked the wire behind the windshield rubber, out
the top corner of the  door opening, around the corner of the drip rail, along
the edge of the luggage  rack seal to the space between the right hand luggage
rack screw and corner  where the antenna is mounted.
