Many new cars, especially electric vehicles, present challenges for installing mobile radios. My Mustang Mach-E roof is mostly glass and the tailgate is plastic. I demonstrate in this quick video how I made it work with a "frunk" mount and some quick firewall routing.
Hope it helps if anyone is considering installing a mobile rig in any newer vehicle, especially an EV!

Please tell me more about the "magnetic CD mount" for the head.
