I have a glass-mounted antenna on my car but am having problems with my signal. Why is this happening?

There are several things you can do to check the performance of your glass mounted XM antenna. First, ensure it has been properly installed. The inner and outer antenna couplers must be exactly aligned for the signal to pass through the glass correctly. They also must not be installed on heavily tinted windows or windows with a metallicized covering - these will interfere with the signal passing through the glass. If you need further technical assistance, please contact the manufacturers, Terk Technologies at 1.800.942.TERK (8375) for the TRK-SR1 or Antenna Specialist at 800-321-9977 for the XM-8000F.
