Default Mounting GPS antennas under panel cover

I'm thinking of mounting a couple of "mouse" GPS antennas on the inside of my fiberglass LS6 panel cover using Dual-Lock on the TOP of the GPS antenna.. Reason is to have more real estate to place the antennas, and still provide a "break-away" function if I have to jettison the canopy (and cover, which goes with it). Any opinions about any effect the plastic Dual-Lock would have on GPS reception?

My gut feeling is "no effect", but I claim no deep knowledge of the electromagnetic spectrum (other than how to run a no-lock intercept using an APQ-120...).

Comments?
