Hidden Antenna

I installed a new restrosound hidden antenna, it came with double sided tape and advises not to use any metal brackets for securing it. Well after just a couple of months and just sitting in the garage since my truck is not running yet it has already fallen off. The surface has new paint and I thoroughly cleaned the surface before installing it. Does anyone have experience with securing hidden antennas? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joe

I would call 3M...they make double backed tape specific for automotive and exterior all-weather applications.

Curious if you've got pics of what the truck looks like without antenna, the "hole" - and also, what the hidden antenna looks like?
