Sedan/Coupe With Antenna Placed at the Front of the Roof
1 Feed the antenna cable from the antenna underneath the rubber molding
around the windshield. Use a blunt plastic putty knife or similar blunt tool
to lift the rubber molding around the windshield and tuck the antenna
cable underneath the molding. Route the antenna cable around and down
the windshield to the lowest point.

windshield molding and into the rubber weather stripping around the
door opening. Lift the weather
stripping from the opening and
tuck the cable inside it, then
replace the weather stripping.
Run the cable inside of the
weather stripping to the bottom
of the door opening.
3 Pull the cable out of the
weather stripping at the bottom
of the door opening and route it under the carpet toward the dashboard.
Coil any excess cable in a hidden location, such as under the carpet,
keeping it away from any vehicle pedals or controls. Secure the excess
cable with wire ties.

and route it into the cabin under the interior trim. Avoid hinges or gears
that could crimp or cut the cable.
2 Route the cable through the
SUV’s main cabin area under
the interior trim, towards the
front of the vehicle. Use a blunt
plastic putty knife or similar
blunt tool to lift the plastic trim
just enough to tuck the cable
under underneath. Avoid side
airbag locations on back pillars
and above the doors. Airbag
locations are marked with “SRS”
