Need Some IDEAS!!!

Okay I have an 00 TL-P. What im trying to do is run the Navigation antenna to the back part of my roof. I tried running along the rear widow molding but it is too tight around the top of the window to hold it in. I was thinking of using some clear silicon to hold it in but if there is a cleaner better way please advise. Thanx for the help in advance.

Ask your local shop that installs them what they do on the TL!

Run it along the southern route... pull up the door sills and run it along the floor carpet and then up the C-pillar to the roof.

If not, pull the trim off from around the sunroof and unscrew the dome lights. You should have enough clearance to run the wires under the headliner then.

How will that reach the out side of the car without screwing threw the roof.
