Hmm. Came up last about 2 weeks ago. Remove the luggage carrier (clean underneath it). Put the antenna under the raised portion of the leading edge of the carrier. Replace carrier. Route the antenna cable back towards the poptop, route it along the left side of the canvas (just around the corner). Unscrew the metal strip holding the canvas in place (the straight piece, not the corner). slip cable under the canvas. Tighten the metal strip back down. If you are paying attention to detail you can now route the cable back behind the shelf (easiest way is to loosen a couple of the screws at the front, and then slide the cable in behind, and replace the screws. Drop the cable back behind the curtain, down behind the cabinet. If you have a remote add on (like with pioneer) you can put the remote under the bottom shelf in the cabinet and simply route the antenna cable to that. If the satellite jack hook up is in the dash..... Route the cable through the cable gap, under the carpet, under the drivers seat. You'll probably want to remove the battery for this next stage. Now route the cable forward under the driver seat and up through the gap at the top. Now under the carpet and up to the center console. You might want to position the cable under the driver seat so that it won't interfere with anything, or get pinched.

Any advice would be welcome. With the antennae in the leading edge of the luggage carrier, you shoudn't have any trouble with signal blockage (the fiberglass is transparent to the signal). Plus, no one will know you have it installed. In my case I've got several antennas up there. Sirius and GPS too.
