Hey folks, does anyone have pictures of the A-pillar top without the headliner in? I need to know if it's open at the top or not.
What I need to do is run an antenna wire from the dome light area down through the A-pillar and then up under the dash. My bus has a headliner so I don't know if it's open or not.
Thanks! _________________ '78 Bus 2.0FI

Yes, the dome light wire runs up the LH one, and the rear defog wire up the right.
How you'll fish something through with a headliner in the way will be a magic trick though. _________________ Rust NEVER sleeps and stock never goes out of style.
Please don't PM technical questions, ask your problem in public so everyone can play along. If you think it's too stupid post it here

Thanks busdaddy! Many things can be done with ignorance, optimism, and beer. _________________ '78 Bus 2.0FI

Yep, current antenna is really bad - very poor ground plane. I just need to suck it up and make the hole in my roof.
It will look pretty ridiculous with a huge tri-band antenna on the roof, but it will work well!
