Hello all,
Well, Chevy did me a disservice with the 2015+ Tahoe PPV. On the 2007-2014, the raised "rails" in the sheet metal on the roof were staggered so that the center line was flat. On the 2017, one of the "rails" runs right down the center line of the roof. I was planning on mounting a covert little UHF puck antenna back there, but since I can't stand things that aren't centered, and the mounting surface is elevated in the middle, that won't work.
I'm trying to find some other ideas for an antenna that is as low profile as possible, to mount 3/4 of the way back on the roof. It can't really be any wider than a Laird Phantom. In fact, I would just use a phantom, but I wanted to keep it shorter than 3" and their UHF options aren't quite as short as the 800 mhz versions.
I am investigating factory On-Star replacement antennas with UHF, but so far I can't find one that keeps the factory GPS/On-Star connection while adding UHF.
Any ideas? Thanks everyone!
