hood channel cb antenna mount has anyone used these?

hey i got my "new to me "99 supercab f150,i want to get my cb radio hooked up in it i think i have decided where/how i want to put the radio ,but now i have to figure how/where to mount the antenna and how to run the coax into the cab(out of sight and safe)on my 92 i was able to run it in through the rear slider inside the plastic trim at the edge of the headliner over the drivers door down the left windshield post and down under the dash where it would connect....

the dilemma 99 has NO rear slider and NO plastic trim along the top of the doors/edge of headliner and even if i were to run it in through the upper corner of one of the rear doors i may damage the seal and possibly crimp/cut the coaxso i am trying to get away from the "on the roof" magnetic mount

i have a fiberglass tonneau cover so any type of mount in/on/or around the bed is out of the questionthey are stock fiberglass "sport mirrors"

so i am looking into the "hood channel mount" type that attaches to the inner edge of the fender http://www.walcottcb.com/accessorie...f1l-p-1180.html
and im hoping i can run my coax from there under the hood and through one of the rubber grommets in the firewall

if i can help it i want something that looks like a clean install i really dont care for the ball mount to the side of the body or a roof mount


just wondering if anyone has ever used one of these any comments...concerns?
i am also open for other suggestions as to another way to mount it
