It turns out that Sirus and XM'* antennas are not as weather tight as they originally thought.
Now we do all of our installs on the dash without any comebacks.

The factory metallic tint on certain vehicles will cause signal loss.
On that vehicle it is probably a good idea to mount in on the roof.
Just make sure to use the piece (long skinny plastic piece that has 2 way tape) that hides the wire this will probably hold the antenna from moving around and damaging the paint.
Installing on the dash is way quicker and more reliable for most vehicles.
