Icon2 Antenna block off plate question?

Sorry for the stupid question I'm a noob but when you replace you antenna with one of the block off plates does it mess with you reception? if so what do you use to replace and get better reception?

I use an antenna like this one.(Not the exact same one but similar) Mount in the middle of the windshield next to the rear view mirror.
