What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Do the four screws holding the antenna mount to the lip make contact with the body inside the door? I'm having trouble with that.

There is a thin flat rectangular piece of metal that comes with it in which the four allen screws tighten down on. I applied some thread locker on them as well. You can see that silver metal piece in the last picture.

I mean where it meets the inside of the body. When you close the door, does the hex end of the bolt hit the paint?
 
mine did too. Had the stock ones on, didn't like. The Trail's are much better. Do you have a side shot of the vehicle?


Not the whole side unfortunately.

Dropped her off at the dealership. Driver side front door speaker isn't working. They put me in a 2014 camry for the mean time. It's no where near as nice as the 4Runner though.

At least you got a Camry. I put mine in for 2 weeks back in December while they tracked down an annoying squeak that happened below 50F and above 50mph on city streets/rough roads. They gave me a shitty a$$ Corolla, pretty much base model with nav/bluetooth. Squeak ended up being a faultily attached driver's front fender trim piece. They ordered, painted, and replaced. Would have been $350 if wasn't under warranty!
 
Lol.
Everyone expected me to be upset. I was like why? Now I can finally put my other bumper on and buy my winch!

Of course amazon is having to track it down now. .sigh
 
You know, ran the CB antenna cable. Broke some plastic tabs…The usual.

You mentioned a metal piece that the set screws tighten down on. I thought they screws has to pierce the paint to get contact with the metal, is that not the case? Have you tuned the antenna? what is your SWR?

Would you mind taking some close up pics of the mount and set screws?
