Black Trunk Lid NMO Mount for Mobile Radio Antennas

Secure your mobile antenna without drilling holes using this premium black trunk lid mounting assembly.

The PCTEL T-NC Trunk Lid Mount is a professional-grade mobile antenna mounting solution designed for seamless vehicular installations. Engineered with a durable black finish, this NMO (New Motorola) mount attaches firmly to the edge lip of a vehicle's trunk lid or hood groove, providing a high-strength anchor for mobile communication systems. It is built to maintain structural stability under high wind loads and heavy road vibrations.

This mount is an ideal choice for public safety, commercial fleets, and leased vehicles where drilling a permanent hole in the bodywork is not permitted. It includes 17 feet of high-quality RG-58A/U coaxial cable, which provides ample length for clean routing from the trunk or engine bay into the vehicle cabin. The cable is supplied with a "No Connector" (bare wire) termination, giving technicians the freedom to trim the line to an exact custom length and install their preferred RF connector type.
