    I installed a CB up in the same place as frosty blue, and for six months struggled with the dilema of the mic cord whipping around and the mic bouncing out of its holder as the going got bouncey on tracks.

    Then one day a mate of mine was in the passenger seat and mentioned that he had velcroed the back of his mic and the opposite velcro onto the roof plastic to prevent such excitement as the mic whiplashing past his chops......

    50 cents of Velcro later, and I added one of the little visor holders to trap the cord and hey presto no more mic wizzing past my face as I negotiate obstacles.

    I hope that makes sense, I can take a photo tomorrow and post it, its a very simple fix.

    Cheers / Andy
