The referenced antenna is not intended for mirror mounting as you will note if you read the application manual for it.

It's actually specifically designed for trunk-lid or roof mounting as it's VERY sensitive to it's ground - more so than ANY VHF/UHF antenna.

I put one on my Subaru roof and in order to match it to 10 and 6, was forced to add counterpoise wires on the roof rack to the antenna assembly to obtain an acceptable match.

I would look for another solution than this one.
