So I've mounted twin CB aerials on a roof-rail on the back of my disco and have the cables running down each side gutter and just put the cable under the door seal. However, after a lot of rain recently I've noticed a huge leak from both rear doors (never had this leak before) - I'm thinking this is due to these two cables.

I want some advice on how to wire these cables into the Disco, I can figure out getting the cables throughout the car just not the best place to get them inside.

I used an electrical gland nut to run my spotlight wiring into the cab of my 110.
Front top of the roof, no leaks 16yrs on. Means drilling(two) holes in your roof though (20mm iirc).

For a single co-ax with a max diameter size of 8mm as used with CB antenna a M16 gland is ideal.

Yeah, just looked at mine and I used a 16mm one not a 20.
