Coax cable routing

[abruzzi]

I'm curious, for anyone who uses the Rugged Radios antenna mount:

how do you route the coax into the cab? So far the best I can come up with passes through the door jamb. I suspect I can hold it in place with some dabs of hot glue or RTV, but I'd rather not go through the jamb, and I don't see any easy way to get into the engine compartment from the mount.

EDIT: to add, the photos at the link all show the coax going into the door jamb, but one video I saw suggested the the JK had a hole in the seam between upper and lower pieces that allowed coax to pass into the engine bay. I'm curious if any TJ owners have found a betterway.

Keep in mind the powder coating on that mount is going to get in the way of the antenna mount's requirement for a good solid RF ground connection to the Jeep. Powder coating is an insulation, you'd have to grind off a lot of that powder coating so it'd work without making it impossible to tune the antenna. Bare aluminum or stainless mounts eliminate that issue.

yup, I'll be doing that once I have the install finalized. Right now most of the wires are rough installed because the setup is a bit complicated due to the screen being remote.
