Enhance Your Car's Communication with the FireStik MK-748R Trunk Lip Mount Kit Review

works well, only complaint is that it vibrates a bit in the wind, not so much that I feel like I'm losing the antenna but I've only a 2" Firestik antenna. I put masking tape on the trunk first to reduce scratches on the paintwork.

Washers and small screw are missing, I went to the local CB shop to buy the missing parts and when I installed them the SWR didn't go below 3. I have a 5 inch -Firestick, I didn't realize the mount is rated for a 2-3ft firestick.

This mount sucks. This is a trunk lip bracket and the clips are weak so the set screws bend the clip instead of fitting snugly into the trunk lid. With this antenna and fire stick I couldn't get the SWR below 4.5. Buy something else instead. One star because Revane made me do it.

I bought this mount as I was concerned that the magnetic mount would damage the paint on the car. The mount has rubber feet on one side and nothing on the other. If you tighten it, the metal will come into contact with the car. Also, it's too bulky to fit between the trunk lid and fender without scratching the paint.

This mount is very good, connected and working properly. The only thing to make sure is that you get the end that goes straight to the mount in the right direction or you'll get a very high SWR, but other than that it works great and is a great product for anyone after a fixture to add a machine to without drilling holes or making modifications

I wanted to fully install Firestik. I bought this mount with a quick connect and a Firestik antenna. This mount isn't that good compared to others I've seen. As another reviewer pointed out, the metal bends easily when the set screws are tightened. This mount is probably suitable for perfectly flat barrels, but most modern barrels have a slight camber. I got good SWR values, but didn't really get to ride because my quick release had a problem.

Generally good quality although a flat flat nylon washer was packaged instead of a regular square nylon washer. I had to make a few adjustments to get a good connection to the "hot" center pin. The only problem is the packaging. The trunk lip mount works great with the 2m whip it was intended for. Note! Users can use blue Loctite on the set screws that attach the bracket to the trunk lip to keep them secure despite wind resistance and vibration.

I like the idea of the "Trunk Lip Mount" but after it was installed it tilted a little to the left, it wasn't . Straight up and down, even after my attempts to block it due to my OCD, I could handle it for so long before I got frustrated looking at it and taking it off. Once it was installed and my CB set up it worked great, no complaints and it hit 100mph without incident, also after my trip from the Northeast to Florida I realized that people will no longer use CBs I will be selling.
