Wilson 5000 SWR issue

The SWR would be constant though. A hole in a pickup or suv won't hurt the value at all and looks a lot cleaner. Just drill the right size hole so the rubber plugs they make to stop up the hole when your done fit correctly so it won't leak.

 

Why?
You think that drops the resale value?

Hell wait until gas gets to $5 a gallon where the resale value can't be artificialy propped up any more.

 

Well, I don't think a valid survey has been taken on the question about whether having a hole in the middle of the roof would or would not lower the resale value. But knowing how buyers react when inspecting a car, which of these scenarios is more likely?

Prospective Buyer. "It's a nice Tahoe. But what's that thing in the middle of the roof?"

Seller: It's a rubber plug to cover a hole where a CB antenna used to be. Don't worry, it won't leak or rust.

PB Option 1: Oh, heck, having a hole in the roof doesn't matter to me!!

PB Option 2: A HOLE in the roof with a plug? Are you crazy??

 

$65,000 for a Tahoe! I'd be scared to drive it out of the driveway, afraid dirt might get on it, or a bug might splatter on the windshield...Someone come too close to it with a drill in hand, I'd be lookin for my gun!

....$65,000...unbelievable... remember when I bought my 4x4 Suburban new...fully loaded, leather interior, TV console, towing package, $39,000...and I thought that was expencive.

 

My cousin is a Cadi/GMC dealer. A rubber plug in the roof of a pickup, van, SUV won't hurt the value at all when it comes to trade in. I just sold my GMC Sonoma to an individual with a rubber plug in the roof. I pointed it out to him and told him what it was......he never did ask. Think about it; you are buying a used truck, van , suv that is really nice. The owner really took good care of it and there is nothing wrong with it, it's really cherry (old term some may not know).....and you're NOT gonna buy it because there is a rubber plug in the roof the size of quarter???? That you can't really even see!! O.K your looking at a truck, suv, van that is the opposite of what I described above..........and a little ol' rubber plug is gonna keep you from buying that piece of junk?? See, it just doesn't matter on those kind of vehicles. Now on a Camero, Vette, Cadi, probably not a good idea if you are not gonna keep it. It may, or may not matter on a Corolla, Sentra, Malibu, or Fusion. Oh, and duct tape is probably not a good idea on any of them.......

 

Did you do any bonding on that Tahoe?
I had to bond my fenders to my cab to make my antenna work on my Tahoe.
