Blah I remember those, that and when they used to use standard length antennas and then put them at an angel.... Lots of standing waves...
Blah... Like the antenna in my old 1977 Firebird Espirit being located in the windshield. I mean it looks cool it just will never work as well as a proper length 12-6 o'clock antenna.
Of course it did use 1970 technology, though its (windshield) does stand a hell of a lot more upright than the slope of a 4th gen rear glass.
Of course the antenna mostly goes across the glass which is nearly pointless since it is the perpendicular angle compared to the radio wave.
Okay I am just rambling to myself now. That's what I get for retired from satellite antenna work...
I never listen to my radio anymore anyway all I get is Mexican radio out here. Not cool. Not cool.

rubber Yes there is a rubber groment that you can use.
I know some people that has done this to the cars that they picked up from the state sale that had an extra anteanna hole in the car. Instead of fixing it, they just stuck the rubber piece in there and sold the car like that.
