    And Brent I know there's one under the passenger side because my carpet was always wet, and when I was investigating, I found the grommet just hanging in the hole. Wasn't seated at all! Didn't look under the driver side, but I assume there would be one there as well. And you just told me. haha

    I have the firefly model, so it is fairly flexible without a spring

    Here's a pic of it mounted with a shell. It doesn't come anywhere close to hitting it.

    Yup! Haha
    x2 on this! Don't listen to the manufactures that say to get medium duty or light duty springs. I'm running a 4' Firefly antenna which is supposed to be very lightweight on a heavy duty spring and it works great.

    It's 3'... I will probably get a spring if I whack it too hard on a tree. We will just have to wait and see. I don't want it waving all over the place on the road either.

    Oh and something else. My coax cable on the end that attaches to the radio isn't finished off. The instructions were very vague on how to do it. I have the connector and then the cable is all frayed at the end with the center metal part of it sticking out. How do i go about fixing it to the connector for the back of the radio?

    It's called tech flex I believe. A type of wire loom. Awesome stuff! I picked it up out of a scrap bin at my local electronic store but all they had was like 2 feet so it barely makes it inside the bed rail.
