GPS signal blocked by metal not by glass or plastic. Middle of dash gets a very good window of sky through front window, sun roof, side windows from the dash position. Imagine if you put a point light source where you want to put the antenna and consider where light would exit the car, that's the part of the sky the antenna could observe.

When I had a Z28, I had an antenna with a magnet base that I installed on a little metal ledge just inside the trunk since the lid was plastic. Got a 360° view of the sky
