    Hi All,
    Just installed antenna for XM radio in rear spoiler. Can not tell the difference yet of the original one that I had on roof. Sounds good.

    Nate posted a thread on how to install Nov. 01. I followed his directions. Basically removed brake light, cut hole a little bigger then XM micro antenna and fed the wires thru. Removed all the inside trim around window in hatch fed wire through left side rubber boot that the windshield washer feeds thru at top of hatch ran into roof liner then into rubber moulding left side behind left brake light and into splitter and then in to XM box. I used velcro industrial to mount the antenna to the spoiler and then covered whole with velcro (the harder piece) put lamp back in and voila.

    Way to go Charlie! Now all you need are some turn signal mirrors. ;-)
