Re: In-glass antennnae

["therealdmcvegas" <DMCVegas@xxxx>]

Just to interject real quick, the rear mounted power antenna for the 
DeLorean looks great because you can't see it when retracted. The 
whole unit is mounted below the intake grille behind the rear quarter 
glass on the drivers side. So when it operates, the antenna will pop-
up thru the grilles, and you never have to see the bulky base. It is 
definatly something that you may want to consider.

If you want to convert the car to have a windshield antenna, that 
wouldn't be difficult at all. Just get a bottle of rear window 
defroster repair, and I would imagine that you should be able to 
simply 'draw' the antenna onto the glass. I had a Buick rental car 
one time that used this same technique. Then just solder a connection 
on like a traditional defroster, and all should be fine I would 
imagine...
