Will it fit my vehicle?

It clamps to most hood and trunk-lid seams on trucks, SUVs and cars. Check that your seam is thin enough for the clamp and that the cable can reach into the cabin.

Which antennas and radios does it work with?

It uses an NMO base and Midland lists compatibility with the MXTA26, MXTA25, MXT105, MXT115, MXT275, MXT400, MXT500 and MXT575. The included adapters cover UHF and FME connections.

Do I have to drill holes?

No. The mount clamps to the body seam, so no drilling is needed. You still route the coax cable into the cabin, usually through a door gap or an existing grommet.

Is it better than a glass-mount antenna?

Yes for range. A metal lip mount gives a real ground plane, which glass mounts lack, so transmit and receive performance is generally better.

One universal lip mount with its cable, a UHF-to-NMO adapter, an FME-to-UHF adapter and documentation.

The mount is stainless steel and Midland says it resists rust and harsh weather. The coax connector and clamp hardware still deserve occasional inspection.
