I dunno. I imagine that it would reflect some of the RF energy but not stop it completely--however I'm far from an expert on this.. I'm just chasing knowlege.

How about it folks? Any input from those in the know?

Well, I read that RF is stopped by any conductor...so, if the car is metal, it should protect the person inside....I dunno about the windows, though....but glass is an insulator so that has to help....

Good Morning Annie,

That's probably true but what about the fact that the roof is actually part of the antenna?

Been in this hobby off and on since the 60's and I always thought the webbed fingers and 7 toes came from marrying sisters and cousins.
