    Going to install a magnetic-mount shortie antenna for a CB on the roof of my DCSB and I'm curious as to how people are routing the coax. I am a little uneasy about just running it through the rear center sliding window due to the kink that it will cause. Not to mention the draft from the window not sealing properly. Thoughts?

    I've ran two antennas like this with no issues. If you run it to the bottom corner it fits nicely and no draft. The other option is to run it through the third brake light.

    Perma-mounting works well, too :)

    There was a member that slightly altered the 3rd brake light and ran it through there, no issues as far as i know.
