i picked up a magnetic mount cb antenna today (as that was cheaper than a cable and a hard-mount antenna) and i realized that the cable isn't long enough to put it where i had planned on, so my second choice was the cowl.

is there anything wrong with sticking it to the cowl?

I have my magnet mount on the cowl of my '84 & have had it there for years. I have it just to the inside of the am/fm antenna on the passenger side & it doesn't bother me at all.

I used to have to stop & pick it up because low branches would pull it off, I just drilled a very small hole in the front of the plastic base & used a small metal screw to screw it to the cowl.....haven't lost it yet!
