There is quite a body of published material on antennas mounted on
a car body. For the special modelling requirements when using a wire-
grid with NEC you could refer to the following:

 1. Austin, B.A. and Najm, R.K. (1991), "Wire grid modelling of vehicles
with flush-mounted window antennas", Proc. IEE 7th Intl.Conf. on
Antennas and Propagation, No.333, 2, pp.950-953.

2. Cox, J.W.R., (1991), "Comparison of predicted aircraft wire antenna
terminal impedance (using NEC) with measurement in the HF band",
ibid, pp.717-720.

3. Lee, K.S.H. et al, (1976), "Limitations of wire grid modelling of a closed
surface", IEEE Trans. EMC, EMC-18, pp.123-129.

4. Ludwig, A.C., (1987), "Wire grid modeling of surfaces", IEEE Trans.on
Antennas and Propagation, AP35,9, pp.1045-1048.

5. Nishikawa,L.A., (1984), "Effect of automobile body and earth on radiation
patterns of antennas for FM radio", Trans. IECE of Japan, E-67, 10, PP.555-562.
