CB Radio Antenna location?

I see that some of you have CB radios. I purchased one for my upcoming road trip but all of the body panels have tight clearances and it looks like the doors are pushed out a bit where the cable passes through. Where did you all run your wiring?

I ran a mag mount ant on the rear roof area ( I bag the bottom to prevent scatches) run your coax down the side of the rear hatch and cross the hatch seal on the bottom... this way if you get into wet weather the wet will not seep all over the place..thru the center of the rear seats and on the centert consul..mine is a hand held so it fits between the seats...

Does the loose cable rub anywhere? What about clips that would attach to the gate and hold the wire as it makes its way down?

Didnt use clips...actually used a small bit of tape to keep it from moving....wire is hidden by rear hatch except where it pops out the top to the ant.....

Hmm...my cable is too thick to exit through the top of the gate. I'll work something out.
