    I've never had a problem tuning my Wilson Mag mount except for having to cut about 1/2" off the stinger but I rarely go below 26.675. Other than that I usualy stay on 14, 19, or sometimes 28 and even shot a little skip with a 2x2879 Golden Eagle 377 with no problems. Of course it's one of the older ones before Wilson started changing hands.

    I use a 5000 and had to trim it twice to get it just right. If you do trim, just do very little each time until spot on.

    i have had good luck with my 1000 and 5000 and haven't had to trim them or even adjust them up or down.well i think i may have adjusted my 5000 up a very little bit but it's all been smooth sailing since putting either of them on my vehicles.i have had them on a Jeep Grand Cherokee and on a Saturn SL2 4door car,oh yeah also a little Subaru Outback Impreza Wagon Sport and all has been pretty perfect with both antennas.but,i haven'r run any power through them other than stock radio power so who knows what will happen if/when i do run real power into them.both my 1000 and 5000 are mag mounts.

    Probably could have poked the whip down through the door and unlocked your truck instead of smashing the window... Although just having left a nightclub, your decision-making skills were probably a bit wonky. I have unlocked several cars using a radio antenna, when a coat hanger wasnt readily available.
