Since I didn't get overwhelming support about how to cover the antennas on my glare shield I had to go it alone. (some tried to help and I thank them) I figure I would post my fab experience to give others ideas of how to finish theirs. It is not the most cost effective, not the most effecient, but I am happy with the result.
This is what I started with. Definately did not compliment the nice Classic Aero interior. I also wanted to cover the very uneven and unsightly pro-seal.
I purchased the Classic Aero glare shield edge/trim piece and extra fabric to cover the antenna farm.
First step, make a template out of pliable posterboard.
I used this YouTube tutorial on how to make the template.

Then transfer your template to thin roof flashing (home depot).
It may take several dry fits and tedious trimming to get it just right but it should look like this when you get it dialed in.
I then used 1/2" foam from the local fabric store and adhered it to the flashing using spray adhesive. Then carefully cut to shape.
