Thanks Howard, I have one of these but didn't think it to be suitable for a heated windscreen.
I'm in the process of clamping the aerial to the luggage rack, so no body drilling needed!!!!
Kind regards, Steve

Here is a pic of the aerial in its intended position on the luggage rack. Need to go for a drive tomorrow to test my radio reception, hope its not going to rain? Steve

Hi everyone, just a quick update to say that the areal reception is great with no signal loss at all, even in built up areas! The DAB aerial is now to be permanently positioned on the top luggage rack bracket ( as per picture)…

Good news!
Wonder if it would work as well with a great big spare wheel compramising the ground plane.

Hi Peter, You could always just test the theory, as a temporary fix with cable ties or tape.

I'm going up to Williams in a couple of weeks to chat about fitting a good sound system including a DAB tuner: ariel position is critical!
