did you run yours along the windshield or along the top of the fender? i ran mine along the top of the fender under the hood and lost some reception. id like to know if running the antenna in front of the windsheild mad any difference.

Did this....lost 4/8 presets. And the 4 I listen to the most, when I do listen. Looks great tho. I am holding off on the Esky cover for now, no sense in buying it if I am going to put the antenna back.

I will give it a week or so and see how pissed I get about not having local radio .
