Re: Fuba hole question

[glxtasy@juno.com (ken r weidmann jr.)]

When I installed my fuba, I measure a couple of 16v's and came up with a
measurement of about 6 to 6 1/2 inches.  I figured that I would err on
the side of caution and drilled it at 6 1/2.  That was almost a big
mistake. I have a sunroof and when it is fully retracted, it now comes
about 3/4 of an inch to 1/2 an inch from the front of the antenna.  I
would drill the hole at 6 inches from the back of the car and give
yourself some extra leeway.
