broken cb radio roof mount

[P93suafilo]

Well my wife drove my truck drove under a tree and ripped my roof mount out of the hole and bent the hole that the antenna mounts in, i believe it is a 3/4in. So as for setting it back in the same spot idk if i can unless i mount a plate and do it that way.
I was just seeing if anyone else has had this problem before and what they did to fix it.

Some of my ideas were:
Move the mount to the bed or fender rail and patch the hole on the roof
Mount a plate on the roof and remount the antenna(i just dont want it to get ripped off again)

Ill post some pics when i get a chance. but any input is welcome.

On an older truck I put a L bracket below the back window off to one side and then ran the wire into the cab through the window seal.

I've experimented with different antennas and locations on my trucks. My work truck has proven to be harder on antennas than expected. Finally after having a discussion at a CB shop, I used a stainless mirror mount to attach to my rear bumper on one side (out of the way of the tailgate) and stick a 102" whip on there. So far, so good.
