    Volvo 670

    Had good experience in the past with stock setup on a 670, but this one has issues. SWR is 3+

    How much of a hassle would it be to redo the wiring?
    I have a perch mount but I like the look of using the stock mirror mount.

    It's a lot of work ripping the door, dash, and mirror apart, but it can be done.

    1st off how do you know the coax is bad..There are other reasons for a high swr,usually a grounding issue....
    Use the K I S S method 1st before ripping out stuff to replace to only have same issues....

    I got a mounting bar and called it a day. Hopefully it doesnt get ripped out over time.
