Install A Roof Antenna With Wire Under Headliner

When its lower than a few wavelengths and at multiples of 1 4 wavelength like 1 4 3 4 etc the pattern of a vertical antenna can be pushed upward and away from the horizon a bit lowering its gain at the horizon.

Install a roof antenna with wire under headliner.

Now he tells me i have a short in the antenna wire which runs under the headliner. I mounted the antenna at the trailing edge of the roof and ran the wire down through the factory antenna mounting hole. Lift the headliner to the roof and install the number 3 wire rod. The static noise signal fade has gradually returned and is as bad now as it was before dealer put on the electrical grease.

Work toward the rear and install the side to side wires. You want the listing wires. First it may be more cumbersome to install a large tv antenna than a small one so you may want to enlist some help if you cannot manage it on your own. He wants about 700 to remove headliner change antenna wires.

After two hours could not find the other end under the dash. As a general rule the farther an outdoor tv antenna s range the larger the antenna is. If you do not have the v prongs skip the next step. Then work forward and install remaining side to side wires.

Excess wire coiled up in same location. Size plays a factor in two ways. During the installation i found a sirius xm antenna inside the cap on top of the driver s side cabinet up against 1 high aluminum angle on one side. Then if present snap the listing wire or wires into longitudinal bow receptacles.

Installed sirius xm antenna on the roof where it belongs. This is where the short bow will attach. You can also buy non penetrating mounts that use weights rather than screws to hold them in place. It required putting a small groove in the base of the factory antenna and then i sealed everything up with black rtv.

Whatever you do do not put holes in your roof to attach your antenna. Second some may find large tv antennas to be unsightly. This solved the problem for about 4 months. In order to mount an antenna on your roof without damaging it you should attach the antenna to the gable the fascia or the chimney.

I would consider a vhf uhf antenna over a huge metal roof ground plane similar to an hf antenna over earth ground. You can adjust the listing wires upward or downward by utilizing appropriate holes in the sides.
