Roof mount

[undertaker]

I have an f150 pickup the roof has grooves in it. Will my 1000 mount work if I can get it between the grooves? I mean will it not leak and get good swr??
Thanks

I have used the 1000 and 5000 roof mounts before and never a water leak. I never had a problem getting a flat match but depending on the vehicle you might have to cut an inch or two off the stinger.

If you can get a good flat area between , then go for it.

Works fine on a Chevy

The problem with the roofs on the new Fords is that there is very little space between/in the grooves, you just don't have much flat surface area available to position an antenna mount.

Imagine my surprise when I rented one, and the mag mount wouldn't stick. Aluminum bodies now, ya know.

On my '07 F150, I can fit the Wilson 5000 mag between the grooves, just a bit north of the center of the roof with no problem.

Forward or rear of center works just fine. Better than nothing!! Yes maybe slightly more directional. But not such a bad thing at times!!
