There are two features on our cars that prove that the antenna belongs on the drivers side. Even if a dealer put it on the passenger side.
First, there is a rubber grommet in the drivers inner fender that can be removed to pass the antenna wire through. No drilling. The antenna wire comes with a grommet to fit the hole.
Second, there is a hole in the drivers fender pinch weld to attach a bracket to stabilize the antenna.
And of course, the radio installation instructions tell you exactly where to put the hole for the antenna.
But was that for Germany/Europe markets or the US? I look at modern USDM cars and it's either pass front or driver rear.
I went with a marine soft wire antenna under the cowl. Filling the hole for a clean look.
????? If someone here has a Euro market 914 (it is a European car right ?) and there is a grommet on the right inner fender and the bracket hole is on the right inner fender that will be a revelation.
But...... anyone can put an antenna anywhere they want.
I welded the fender hole, left the grommet, took out the speakers and put in a radio block off .
I couldn't hear the friggin' thing anyway.
