This a side view.

I cut a piece if cardboard about two inches square and covered it with black electrical tape. This helps cushion the receiver mount to eliminate any possible vibration, and blends in with the color of the interior. I used a metal bracket that comes with home door latches on the underside to...

I looked at a couple of options, and running it from the back seemed very easy. It's a pretty slim antenna, and really isn't noticeable. I had heard some cases where people ran it from the rear and ran out of antenna wire before getting to thier receiver. That's why I looked at options from...
