Just a warning, I used to have that Hidden window mount antenna from crutchfield installed, before I switched to the PA I have now, and I couldn't get it to pick up even one station worth a damn.
We have a really good Classic Rock station here, 99.7 "The Fox" which puts out a good 250,000W signal, and while driving the hidden antenna couldn't even hold the reception for 5 seconds at a time without breaking up. Very Annoying......
I really wanted my reception back, as I listen to the radio a lot while I'm driving, so I had no other choice but to install a Power Antenna. Now I have great reception.Comment

Not from the factory they didn't, least not on anything I've ever seen.Originally posted by 86VickyLX View Post
The GM cars with the antenna in the glass never got great reception. Basic whip antennas seem to work better. I've also always been fond of rear antennas, it just looks more out of the way back there.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Some of the pre-87 P72's I have seen had the antenna on the PS Rear QP from the factory. I could tell it was a factory job, because the hole for the Antenna had been stamped/pressed into the QP, and not drilled. I also think that antenna's in general just look better on the Rear QP.Originally posted by gadget73 View Post

Funny how it seems like the rooflines were a little different for a few years there in the middle of the model run.2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!
