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.
