I wondered if anyone has a good way to mount a mirror antenna for Sirius radio on a freightliner cascadia. I drive a company truck so I can't drill holes in the body.

can you clamp it onto the sun visor on the front of the truck? seen this done on some company 387 petes. Also I have seen some mounted onto the handles on the side and rear of the trucks. all else fails mount it to the qualcomm bracket.
-
Our company trucks don't have the sunvisors above the winshields. It's currently mounted on the bracket that holds my airlines but my cord is too short to make t look neat.
-
any chance thier is a bolt somewhere on the side that you can take out and replace with a longer one to mount it on the side or front someplace?
-
You can just use weatherproof tape to attach it wherever you want.
I've used this 3M Outdoor doublesided tape on a few things with pretty good results. However, they were all somewhat sheltered from the weather and only occasionally got wet, so I don't know how well it holds up to full weather exposure.
On a Freighliner I used to drive, I just wrapped tape around the antenna and a spot on the top of the mirror, and have the same idea used on the rollbar of my Jeep. Still get a good signal, even through the tape. -

above the passenger door on the outside should be two bolts. you can mount it there using 1 bolt, then run the wire through the window. Thats what I did on my cascadia and it works fine. If there is one of those usesless little mirrors there, you have to remove it.
-
That little mirror is not useless. It will keep you from hitting the curb with your front right tire (the only tire u can't see without these mirror) Plus it also serves as a blind spot mirror............

Germanudo Thanks this.

This is the mount I use on my Cascadia. It's made to used in conjunction with your lookdown / spot mirror if you have one.
It's mounted on the passenger side door right where the others said the 2 mounting screws are located.
The factory screws are long enough to accommodate both the mount and the mirror together.Attached Files:
