Best place for Sirius Antenna on Roadster?

Where is a good place to mount the Sirius antenna on a Roadster? I've got one mounted on the trunk lid on my black one but it scratches the paint and tends to move a little. Just picked up another Z4 and want to put it somewhere better. Does under the plastic of the center box work well for reception? What about on the dash?

The new Z4 I picked up is a 2006 Montego Blue with Sport, Premium, Nav, and M seats. 6-Speed. Tan top and beige interior.

Yeah it's not great on the trunk lid either because of how low it is. I may try the Sirius windshield mount SIGMA antenna and put it up by the rear view mirror. I used this in another car and it seems to work very well.
I've got to get up there to run the wire for my V1 anyways.

I put my Sirius antenna in front of the rearview mirror, under the headliner on the GPS antenna mount. Works very well and is totally out of sight

Yes, on the benz forums.. they mount the antenna on the underside of the trunk or on the inside of the quarter panels and it works just fine.
