Best option for modern station wagon, best of the best hard mounted antenna?

Hi, I am looking to get back into CB with my new car, its a wagon and has a giant metal roof, and I'm trying to find the absolute best antenna setup I could get for it, with the catch that it can't be too long for neighborhood streets and city parking garages, and I would prefer to not drill any holes in the car.

What options do I have other than "buy a wilson little will and slap it on the roof"? Maybe edge mounts that clip onto the hatch, a door or something? I'm inspired by visiting dayton hamvention recently and seeing all the ways people mount antennas on their cars.

Thanks for any information!

Is it possible to remove the IR filter from this teeny camera?

Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows how I can remove the IR filter from this ov5647 camera. I am very familiar with pulling apart the full size ones with m12 lenses, but this one is very super teeny, like it’s just barely larger than the actual sensor and just has this plastic lens assembly stuck on somehow. I’ve tried using some isopropyl on it, and managed to loosen a ring on the outside which let me take some lens elements out, but I cannot get the lens to unscrew from the camera, I’m not sure if it even comes apart in that way. Thanks for any information and ideas!
