Robert-

I'd call Ham Radio Outlet (HRO) and ask for their advice. They might
even have a shop that does mobile radio installations.

To get a proper weather tight NMO mount,
you're gonna need a Greenlee hole cutter.

Remove the dome light. Try to fish the RG174U co-ax through the same
place the dome light wire goes. There's usually some kind of channel.
Drill your hole straight up from the dome light.

Yes I know about the "channel" but I don't own a greenly hole punch. just some hole saws and I am afraid they wont make a clean enough hole for a good seal.

A step drill works OK too.

Why is it the stores around here don't have any 5/16'' diameter drill
bits eight inches long for sale, the kind for drilling holes in metal?
That SUCKS! I need me a drill bit like that.
cuhulin

I use hole saws from Lowe's for NMO mounts, its easy...really.
