 You can run the cable through the wing windows.Make sure you have a good ground,you might have to add a ground wire from your antena mount to the body or dash. I have mine installed (102" whip) mounted to a bracket on the rear bumber.I have found that I could never get two to work better than one antena.

I had one of those that had the clamp on the base. It worked well on my farm truck mirrors. Then I just ran the cable down one of the mirror bars and through the crack between the door and the front fender . then behind the weather stripping down to the carpet, under the carpet, and up to my CB right underneath the ashtray.

 Looks good. You have one of the best antennas (my opinion) besides a whip, Frances.
