Any help would be appreciated because it is embarrassing to drive around with it like this. Thanks.

The main outer rails on the roof are beginning to pull up towards the front. Pulling hardware out of the body. Any tips/suggestions on how to fix???

My never ending quest to extinguish engine/ alternator noise continues.
After hours and hours of research and multiple testing I'm still getting awful alternator noise in my cb. I've changed the wiring to power my cb with some partially shielded stand copper wire (12awg pic below) and used one for power and one for ground. I did get a pack of RG58 coax to use if the wire I'm using doesn't work to solve the issue. I really want to stay away from any "noise filters" as I've read that plenty of guys in an xj or not haven't had to use them. Again the cb I'm running is a uniden bearcat 538w with a 67" whip antenna. I've verified my ground is good and the coax is good. Power and ground for cb go directly to the battery. inline fuse on positive wire at battery and cb end.
Any tips our solutions are greatly appreciated!

I have installed plenty of truck radios(mostly VHF/UHF) and never gotten noise from the alternator. Most of those installs were way lower in quality than what you are doing (power to main fuse block, ground there too, no noise filter, random mounted antenna) and always gotten good VSWR. At this point the only thing I have done dfferent from you is I made all my own connectors and use high end motorola radios.
