Connect the rubber antenna cable cover/tail to the antenna cable, making sure that the strain-
relief on the antenna sits into the rubber antenna cable cover/tail groove. (Figure 7) Route the
antenna cable through the wire channel in the rubber antenna cable cover/tail. Do not remove
the protective strips yet.
Temporarily position the antenna and rubber antenna cable cover/tail in the selected mounting
area and route the cable from the antenna to the vehicle’s interior by tucking it underneath the
rubber molding around rear window, as shown in Figure 8.
Route the cable from the lowest point of the rear window into the trunk. Take advantage of
any existing cable channels or wiring conduits. For SUVs, mini-vans and 5-door vehicles, bring
the cable into the vehicle under the rubber molding for the tailgate, and continue under the
interior trim.
From the trunk, or rear of the vehicle, route the cable around the passenger compartment and
to the front of the vehicle, to the radio. Take care not pull the cable across sharp edges that
could damage it, and keep it away from areas where it might entangle feet. Coil any excess
antenna cable in a location where it can be hidden.
Once the antenna cable is routed through the vehicle, and you are satisfied with the cable
routing, peel the protective material from the adhesive strips and press the rubber antenna
cable cover/tail firmly into place on the vehicle. Double check that the location of the antenna
and rubber antenna cable cover/tail are correct, and continue to press firmly down on rub-
