Probably. The antenna must have a clear view of the sky. Unless of course you plan on staying very close to a local repeater. Test it by covering the antenna. If you lose signal, it wont work.
All I can say that is that it works great through a soft top and I have seen it work through a fiberglass soft top on a sports car.
The beauty of putting it on the rollbar is that if it does not get reception with the hard top on, you can simply move it (maybe on top of the spare tire?).
