Place to put CB antenna?

[willys5555]

I have a 1997 Ford Explorer 4dr. I got a cb radio but i just dont know where to put the antenna. Where is the best place? Could someone send me pics of where they have them? I am looking at just getting the glass mount ones. Are these good? do they get as good reception as a big one? or do they atleast get decent reception? I am also having trouble mounting my cb radio. Where have yall put them? All suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks

...remember, the search button is our friend...
...and the glass mounts are trash...

Glass mounts are garbage.
Wilson 1000 or K-40 in the center of the roof will yield the best reception.

Lots of ideas in the radio forum:

I use a glass mount antenna for my ham radio. It works pretty well for what I use it for. It's not ideal, but it obviously is a much cleaner install. I even have it on the privacy glass and it works well around town to all of the local repeaters for my ham rig. I haven't noticed many times where someone else can make a contact that I can't, but again, it depends on your location and use.
