Installing satellite antenna

Planning to buy the Kenwood's KTC-H2A1 Here2Anywhere portable SIRIUS tuner with the car kit. I am fine with leaving it in the center storage and using the FM Modulator and power outlet in the bin. What's the easiest way to lay the antenna cable so I can put it on the roof? Can that be done easily? I would like to save the money for a professional installation (plus it's a leased car). Any tips and how-to's for best antenna solutions would be very helpful. Thanks!

My antenna is on the deck.
The rear window doesn't have molding to hide the wires so you have to make sure they are pulled tight enough so they don't show.
I haven't had any problems with mine in the deck. Here's pics..

Thanks. As long as the reception is good enough like that, I will put my antenna there, too.

My previous car had the antenna on the roof.
Having it inside the car hasn't made any difference in reception even with snow on the window. But then again, it probably depends on where you live.
