I agree - on the dash would be my preferred location too, and no hassle getting it under the window seal. I guess the extra hassle is worth it though to get solid reception. We just went on a longish road-trip over the weekend in the FR-S, and it only dropped once or twice going under interstate overpasses, but that is to be expected.
The only thing I would add is that XM seems to pick up best when the antenna is as horizontally oriented as possible. I had issues with my 4Runner dropping signal some, but the antenna was mounted over the front passenger door which cocked it to the side quite a bit. Got it moved to over the tailgate exactly centered, and much more horizontal, and the reception is rock solid - I don't remember it dropping at all any more, now that I think about it.
Hope your antenna relocation goes smoothly.
