Default XM antenna question

well my 3 month free trial is up and the antenna has got to go. I have heard it is magnetic but have also been told there will be a hole in my roof if I try to remove this antenna. Can anyone confirm or deny this? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

it depends on who installed it. If they are good there wont be a hole.

Where exactly is your antenna? They are ugly little bastards. I'm not sure which car you have, I have a TA. I took out the third brake light and popped mine in the spoiler. The fibercore is thin enough to recieve the signal w/ no problems.

If you are talking about the little antenna on the drivers side of the roof then there will be a hole when it is removed. It is secured with a nut from the underside.
