My Wilson 5000 magnet mount just broke the mag came apart and now my swr is ####.
I want to permenatly mount a 5000 trucker but what's best to use for a roof mount?
The Wilson gumdrop mount or the HD stud mount?

The gumdrop stud is to be avoided. The HD stud is a lesser quality knock-off of a much better stud which you can get through Mark Sherman @ Fine Tune CB.

Ok well I got the HD stud and drilled a hole and got my antenna up but now my swr is way over 3:1 what is going on?
Did I put the mount on my roof wrong? -
Or you can buy a so239/ pl259 hard mount, which is even better. Your coil will screw right on one...
like this one...

Could the antenna be defective? No shops are open till tomorrow and I need it now -
-
I know the mount is to small but that's not the issue right now.
-
Is that the coil from the mag mount? If so, you have added length with the shaft below it. The whip will have to be adjusted accordingly.
