I need help with this hustler resonator hf mobile antenna

A couple of pictures would help a lot. I am not sure what "I want to out this up..." means.
I setup my father’s hustler multi-band antenna with trunk mount. That’s a heavy antenna for window mount? The thick tube with quick-disconnect fitting on bottom and a plate on top for several band-dedicated tips with loading coils.
You need a good metal surface for ground plane effect. Window mount will not be very efficient and stationary only I presume. We had 15-20M ok on a mobile but much lower gets inefficient really fast.
I always had good results with Hustler/New-Tronics antennas both in the old CB Days (70's) and HF bands after that. The tuning is easy and nice bandwidth above 20 meters. I even used them on 75m. I however NEVER seen or heard of a "window mount" for those antennas. Please pictures or model number of this set-up.

Long time.....
Ok
You need a counterpoise for the Antenna to work off of, normally this metal is the body of the car.
You can add wires like Gary posted above for this, or use two antennas and make a dipole for base use.
