Help. 22 Cascadi here. Same mount as you driver side. I have a bonding strap from bracket to door hinge. Good continuity tested several areas on firewall. Still have very high swr with 2 different aftermarket antennas and red light of death in transmit. Factory antenna is getting job done but am scratching head here. Want to extend range and am at a loss.
Try unhooking coax from radio and with a multi meter take one end (on ohm setting)and test on center pin with other on the ground side of same pl259..If you get a # other than zero then its telling you how well grounded you are..Take antenna off and test same way with ant,one probe of meter on the gnd side and other on top side of ant,maybe its the crap stud you maybe useing..Its another possibility that cb meter is crapped out..
Maybe need to go to the hardware store and buy some good stainless bolts to go with those stainless washers that may help you even more
Good luck
Already have some steel ones..Got a cpl straps done but been to cold to finish..
