Post subject:	CB question, cable into cabin?
If I mount a CB antenna on the roof, what is the best way to run the cable into the cabin? What have others been doing?

Ran it over the door seal, since the cable was too big to fit underneath, used lovely pieces of duct tape to cover it up and then ran it underneath the plastic trim along the inside of the passenger door and then to the back of the CB next to the passenger seat. Don't have pics to show of it but it doesn't look too bad i think.

I ran mine out the right tail light. There is already a hole there covered with clear plastic tape. I just punched a hole through it and ran the cable through, reinstalled the tail light.

Maybe it is just me, but I saw drill a hole and seal it. Then you can run the wires above your headliner and down the pillar near the drivers side. Just my 2 cents. Then again I did just talk to my father in law and he has ideas like this all the time, lol. I think he is wearing off on me.

If you're talking about a mag-mount or a mount on the roof rail then the easiest thing would be to open one of the rear windows enough to feed the wire thru, if you're talking a more permanent mount on the rails then you could run the coax down under the window trim similar to what Bennett didwith his power wires for the lights in his roof rack, then there are some factory openings in the firewall that you should be able to get the coax end thru.
