Cruise_2_xs Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 When on road trips, I like to listen to the truckers on the CB for road info, etc. My edge Limited has a glass roof, not a metal one, which creates two issues: 1) A magnetic mount won't work on the glass top, and I'm not sure a suction cup would be strong and/or reliable enough for freeway speeds. 2) Use on a glass top may or may not require a "no ground plane" type antenna. Has anyone solved these problems successfully? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try a hood mount, may even go on the hatchback http://www.rightchannelradios.com/hood-roof-cb-mounts-83/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
