There are two antenna at the top of the hatch, just near to the shark fin.
You need to remove the plastics to get at them.

I thought they were for DAB but could be wrong!

I read on another post that the sharkfin antenna was for GPS and DAB only and the GSM antenna are located in the rear of the car. It's the earth point I'm trying to locate though assuming that's the issue.

Hi mate. Do you have the GSM antenna booster module in the rear right compartment of the boot?! If so the earth point will be behind the rear right boot trim

I'll have a look, my worry is that during the install of the kufatec seat heating loom last weekend it's caused a bad earth somewhere closer to the infotainment unit. That said we're having signal problems in my area so the poor signal strength may even be related to that
