So Allison got a Sirius radio for her car recently. The instructions said that for convertibles, the best place to mount the antenna is on the roof of the trunk. With the PT Cruiser's near-vertical trunk, the reception left something to be desired. We tried mounting it on the center of the dashboard, which was so-so but still not great.
I scoured the Intertron for any other stories of people in the same situation. I found one post that said that the signal *should* travel through cloth convertible roofs. So, this is what I came up with. I mounted the antenna with double-sided tape in the middle of the "roll bar" behind the driver and passenger seat. The results have been impressive so far. Satellite reception is great, even with the top up!

Thanks for posting. We were also baffled as to where to mount the antenna for an '05 PT Cruiser convertible. Glad to see there is an option available. Thanks again!
