[s-cars] Fw: Car stereo antenna - Roof mount better than in glass?

[JAM]

 If you're going to replace the HU anyway, why don't you see how reception 
if
with the new stereo?  I think you may find that a more modern HU is going to
 have better reception than the old school stereo these cars came with.  I
would cut a hole in my roof only as a last resort, but that's just how I'm
set in my ways.  ;)
