MAg mount antenna - solution?
At work I often have to have a whip and radio antenna on my truck. I recently learned through trial and error they don't stick at all to the new body.
I thought suction cups but they might not work well in really cold weather.
I know there is hitch mounts. I was also thinking some sort of box mount. Princess auto is likely my best route I am thinking. Ideas?

A couple magnets in head liner might do the trick. Sounds like a solid idea. I also have lots of rare earth magnets kicking around.
I will give that a try and see how it pans out once it reaches a reasonable temperature out here. -36 is a bit much to be mcgivering

Seasucker makes heavy duty suction cup bases we use them on the boats all the time. Might be able to rig something up on one of them.
