just fill the old hole, run the wiring up the a-pillar, drill a hole big enough to fit the new one on there, and connect the wiring. you probably want to take off ther headliner to do this, for sake of running the antenna cable up there. are you thinking of one of those really small, angled antennas? i put one on my bro's car just like your talking about. right in the middle of the roof, just behind the windshield...shouldn't be too hard, the cable is long enough for sure. good luck

I'm wondering about doing the rear window idea....just don't know if I have to shave the rear wiper/squirter... if I have to shave them...then I will try and do the antennae that is "built" into the window idea.

My 2001 Honda Civic's antenna is in the front wiper.. woo hoo emoji..
Anyways, you can get cheap rubber ones on eBay that says that you can go through car washes without any problems. And putting it in the middle with a "rat-tail" antenna is VW style emoji ..

yes electric one broke twice on the same car wash
i do have a small rubber one on the stock hole now but i'm installing an aluminum wing and it looks ugly also is kinda sticking to the side
and since i'm having my front bumper painted and the hatch i want to fill the hole and have it painted too and i was wondering how hard it is
my father used to have a vw years ago and the antenna was the hood why not do that as i remember i worked fine
thanks guys if i do it i'll post a pic
