Magnetic CB Antenna
I have a magnetic CB antenna on top of my jeep and I am having a problem with my cord getting chewed up from the hatch, how have you guys avoided this problem?

I have three antennas, two of the three cables are ran through a grommet on the drivers side roof at the door post. The other antenna is a solid mount and it comes through the roof at the rear dome light.

I used tie wraps to route the cord along the luggage rack then down the side of the hatch. The wire gets sandwiched between the seal and the hatch. Worked fine all the time I used it up until I got my real CB setup.
