Cascadia mirror mounted(bottom of) antenna. Have a 4' firestikk and works fine
Question is would a 5' make any/big difference. 4' sits just below my flat top
Bought a 5, is it worth it?![]()

I think so. I prefer 5 ft over 4. Seems to reach better
slim shady Thanks this. -
Is that the single stud in the bolt hole??
If so get rid of it...To much strain on that one spot..See if you can find a stainless version 2 bolt mount..Wilson makes a alum one but i hear they break..
Go crazy driver and get a 6ft fs....slim shady Thanks this. -
Yes. The extra foot WILL make a difference
slim shady Thanks this. -
Passenger side is a big no no for a screw in bird perch! It will loosen up due to wind load on antenna. This is what you want mounted on the driver's side.....

That's how I got the truck, already had to pull over and tighten the hell out of it once, definitely going to mount it on D/S mirror, everything works ok just want more distance
Got a President McKinley hooked up and liking itTimin770 Thanks this. -
Jd....Im tempted to try the previous style modified to fit the latest style plascadia...No real reason to think it will work better but i cant seem to get same results on this truck as i did with previous version..

Do yourself a favor and check out @craig_sez vids on YouTube. It will give you some tips on installing the antenna on your Cascadia.
