Kinda like the hidden idea- especially using a trail rated badge for the delete....

Ok so I am stuck... I have just received my cover bade in the mail as well as a hidden type antenna. I unscrewed the original antenna but I can seem to tell how to take the antenna receiver off? Just doesn't seem like there is a way to get to that area. Help please

I plan on running the hidden antenna inside on the windshield. Looks like if you run it up the passengers side of the windshield it is not in the way at all

Default drill

This is what I did ....
I did have to drill two new holes. When you rotate the mount there are guide pins which you need to drill new holes for.
It tucks it away without a drop in antenna perf. I used a cable clip to hold it tight to the post to avoid it flapping around.

How is the reception of the "Hidden Antenna" you guys sell?

Please confirm hidden will not work with OEM units- saw this mentioned elsewhere, but website doesn't indicate.

Also- you mention no loss in signal- AM too?

Thx
