On convertibles (and some sedans which have
insufficient space under the window molding)
the antenna module should be located on the
centerline of the trunk approximately 6 inches
from the rear window.

Follow steps 1 to 4 under “Sedans” to attach
the antenna module to the vehicle.

2.
Route the cable from the rim further under-
neath the lid (use some telephone wire clips) to
the cable channel. Attach the cable to the cable
channel with some zip-ties.

Note
:
Many convertibles have composite trunk
lids. In such cases it will be necessary to create
a metal “ground plane”. This can be done by
gluing aluminum foil (at least 2 square feet)
underneath the trunk lid between the composite
lid and the liner.
It is important that the coaxial cable is
not damaged or kinked during the in-
stallation procedure.
