Cobra 75 WXST Mounting

I have a new Cobra 75 WXST Remote mount CB radio that I just installed and I am trying to find a mounting place for the mike unit. I have a mint condition interior and I do not want to drill holes in the dash, steering column, etc. Any suggestions? Any unique mounting brackets out there?Thank you for the help.

In that case I would just use a hook and use a sun visor. (That's what i do with my mike) Not sure how heavy that remote unit is though.

The mike is on the heavy side. You say use a hook, what type of hook? Is it easy to get the mike off the hook? I might be able to put a hook on the cigarette lighter.

I am just using one of these Hook stays on the mike. Again, not to familiar with the remotes. You can also use a gear keeper as well, but again not sure how much weight it will hold. Gear keep shown on the lower photo.

The head is pretty heavy so I attached the mic holder to a Pro-Fit mount.
