Antenna Mount for Light Bar Mount?

[obertiger]

Hey yall - has anyone found an antenna mount bracket for the mounting points above the windshield? I know you can buy mounts like the one below, but I wasn't sure if anyone has tried mounting an antenna in this location?

I searched the board to see if this has come up before, but I didn't find anything (maybe I wasn't searching the right terminology?). Thanks!

I am not sure if you have found one, interestingly this is exactly what I have been working on since 2021. I fabricated a basic mount with a hole to accommodate an nmo, however I ended up installing the light bar instead. I put the antenna in the middle, and I have had great results, other than the noise created by the bar and antenna. I just received a compactenna, and I am going to remove the light bar and install the antenna using the installed light bar installation mount. The installation for this antenna recommends top of cab, on the corner, where there is a sudden drop off of the vehicle ground plane. In theory, it sounds like an ideal solution. I would appreciate any insight that you may have, because we have both been looking at the same spot.
