Although a center position on a rear window is the most aesthetically
pleasing, if there is an obstruction (e.g., brake light) consider offsetting 
the antenna from the center or use a rear side window as an alternate site.
If these locations don’t work, use the Terk TRK-SR2 Roof-Mount Satellite
Radio Antenna instead.

When pressing the Main Antenna Unit or ThruGlass Coupler onto the 
vehicle’s glass, apply an initial contact force of 15 to 20 PSI (i.e., steady and
firm finger-tip pressure) for 60 seconds. Allow 20 minutes for the self-
adhesive backing to set before driving the vehicle.

If desired, use an externally-applied heat source (e.g., hair dryer) of 120 °F
(max.) to pre-warm the glass to aid initial contact strength of the adhesive.

After installation, avoid running the vehicle through a car wash for 72 hours.

1. At the selected site, use an enclosed Cleaning Towelette to clean the 

installation area on the vehicle’s outside window.

NOTE: For additional cleaning solution, only use isopropyl alcohol. Do not
use any commercial glass cleaners.

2. Select an enclosed Installation Template and peel off the protective backing

from each of the four adhesive dots.

3. Lightly position an Installation Template on the vehicle’s outside window 

so that no defroster or antenna lines are visible between the registration
openings, as shown in Figure 8 below.

Figure 8. Positioning an Installation Template on a vehicle’s outside rear 
window. Note the orientation and position to avoid defroster lines.
