cb antenna cable

ok, quite possibly another dumb question...but why is it that i can't seem to figure out where the little hole comes through on the inside of my cab? i want to run my cb antenna cable up through there instead of having to keep my rear window cracked all the time

...tomorrow afternoon is totally dedicated to my truck: forecast is sunshine and 75*!! i can work on my truck AND my tan yay spring...maybe if i pack away all my scarves and gloves, winter will take the hint...

there is a little plastic grommet on the bottom (in the rear) of the cab. I made a little slit in it and ran the cord right through

Did the same, but the hole on the out side is about 2-3 inches offset to the left of the hole in the cab.(the one under the carpet)

I pulled my cab light and notched the bottom so I could run the cable out to my mag mount. Doesn't look bad and being on the bottom no worries about a leak.
