Default Nav/Sat antenna need an alternative solution!

Hi everybody I'm new here and I've negotiated for a 2011 LR4 that I'm really excited about but I have one major problem. The entrance to my common garage is too short for the Nav/Sat antenna on the roof by about 1 inch...

I've been searching and searching for an alternative solution, but haven't been able to find one. This is a make or break thing for my family as we live far from outdoor parking and it just wouldn't be practical...

Anyone heard of anything different for the antenna?

Thanks in advance

Perhaps the answer is in the showroom - an Evoque. Or make it a condition of the sale that sales weasel provide a magnetic mount remote antenna, I have no idea how/where to connect it, and what the roof would look like with the factory one removed.

Is that for GPS or the SAT/HD radio?

Here's where I'm at so far: I ended up buying the truck yesterday! What happened was the dealer referred me to the body shop that does all of their work to see if they had some experience with the roof mounted antenna. The owner of the body shop was incredibly knowledgable and helpful. He ended up just unscrewing the antenna and bam all thats there is a bracket glued onto the glass top and a black and white wire coming thru a small gap between the glass and the roof (no holes). Anyone know how I could attach a sat/HD antenna to those two wires?

Why would I post it in your thread specifically asking for SatNav antenna solutions if it was not a GPS antenna?

You're right sorry I have multiple threads going. It has been determined that the nav antenna is actually located separately behind the third brake light. The antenna on the roof controls the Sirius and hd radio. that's the one that I need an alternative solution for. If I have to forgo hd radio then that's ok too. any suggestions? thanks so much

How about a trip to the pro audio installers that retrofit that stuff to every car under the sun?
