Windshield radio antennas
Does anyone have experience or recommendations for a windshield mount radio antenna? I am looking for something I can mount right in front of the rear view mirror and then run the wiring under the interior windshield trim down into the dash. I have been looking at items like this one.

I asked about one of those before I installed the rear quarter version I now have and the individual stated that town reception was ok, but out in the country, facing away from the radio station antenna, pretty poor, particularly FM, which is supposedly line of sight. Guess that's the reason GM no longer uses themDave W

i have used that one several times and was satisfied. it worked well on the 56 big window and we don't get the best reception here anyway.

Thanks guys. Just picked one up at the local Kragen, will put it in and give it a try.

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
