Don’t overlook using a Tram through the glass antenna. I a installing one on my car and the 2-m side is all <1.2 swr across the band.
There is also a company which sells a replacement unit for the satellite antenna, which has the antenna connector built in. This I probably the best solution, but a little work to install. Not hard, but you would have to drop part of the headliner. I got the Tram from Amazon for $22. If you go that route, get clear outdoor silicone calk to seal the outside unit a for better holding. I just don’t like mag mounts. I am guessing you don’t want to drill a hole in your roof!!!
