rear hatch. or you can try putting it inside the car say on the dash or rear cargo area however doing that could possibly lead to signal issues. There was a post on here someone had a xm ant in the cargo area and stated it worked fine (as long as its in a open area)

Check out where my Sirius antenna is mounted.....It is invisible to all vehicles (unless they are right beside you). It cannot be seen from the rear either.....I just thought that the antenna on the roof would take away from the overall sleekness of the car.

Check out the pics:

XM is pretty good....i have that...no problems so far. As far as mounting...i didnt get such a great signal mounting it inside the car (rear hatch area) so it has to be outside...doesnt take too much away from the car....but damn i wish i could have mounted it insideeeee! Who knows you may have better luck or a better signal in your area and you can stash it inside

I mounted mine on the center of the dash inside. Works fine. I didnt really have much choice though with the convertible.
