BASE INSTALLATION:
This antenna is designed with a universal mounting system HOWEVER due to the amount of
differences between vehicle platforms we can't anticipate all of the challenges an installer may face. A
certain amount of modification may be needed based on your particular installation.
The installation begins by locating a point on centerline of the back deck that is clear of any obstructions
such as rear brake lights or safety belt restraint latches. The antenna base should be at least 4 to 6
inches from the rear glass. See note A in figure 2 below.
