Just installed my CB and followed the write up by wayalife. I ran the coax cable through the 3rd break light plug like in the write up but how do I get the rubber plug back in with the coax cable. Do I need to cut a slit in the rubber plug?

I poke the cable through the rubber vent part under the carrier in the back and then across the strap that holds on the tailgate.
Hey henry
I've done something similar on mine for running wire. This crap works awesome:

I just installed a cobra 29 lx with a 3' firestik ii. I am trying to set up the SWR. Followed instructions in the manual and have 1.2 SWR according to SWR meter integrated in cb (don't have a external meter to check) on all channels. My question is regardless of how I adjust the antenna tip (shorten or lengthen) it doesn't change doesn't go higher or lower. I would assume that it would change the SWR some when adjusting the antenna. Is this normal or do I potentially have a problem
The SWR should change as you lengthen / shorten the tip. Just got mine dialed in yesterday after I installed it (Uniden 520) this weekend with a 3' Firestik Firefly. When running a radio check, are you getting any response?
Did you check to make sure your mount has a good ground.
yes its the evo mount so its powder coated I will grind some off the top and bottom of the mount where the fire ring and antenna mount and see if that makes any difference. Thanks!!
