See attached pic. Pod light mount is directly above antenna. I replaced the antenna with a 1/4-20 bolt with a waterproof washer. And made a short connecting strap out of crimp connectors and a piece of wire. Attached the other end of that strap to the mounting bolt for the pod light. That connects the antenna mount to the pod light bracket so the bracket acts as an FM antenna. Certainly more surface area than one of those stubby bullet antennas. There is a considerable difference in FM reception with that attached versus nothing being there. Not quite as good as the OEM antenna but still pretty good. You pick up interference with the pod light turned on but otherwise there is none.
