You can either place it on top of your Dashboard or do it like the Factory setup where the antenna pod is mounted on a Plate Bracket on the Driver side Sport Bar and Rollbar. so as long as its Facing upwards it should get a Signal whether with a Soft top or Hardtop.i've also seen it it Mounted on the Windshield like a Cellular antenna. i just don't think thats a good idea just because the sattelite antenna is in the forward position. i hope this helps.

yeah thanks i do have a hoard top and thought of both thoughs places but wasnt sure if it would read through the top
I put my magnetic Sirius Satellite Antenna on the cowl. It was simple, route the cable down through the grill, through a firewall grommet, up under the dash to the radio. No cost and it works great.
It has been there through the toughest of trails and inclement weather without ever moving.

Top of the roof works the best. On the dash may get a signal, but since it has to go through the glass and at some angles (depending on where the nearest satalite is to you) the roof may be in the way.
Usually the satalite is not directly above you. So you have to keep that in mind when you're finding a location, since the signal can't go through much of anything.
There's unfortunatly only a few satalites over the US (depending on who your provider is), which makes it kind of crappy in some areas no matter where it's located on the vehicle.
