CB Radio Help- Cobra 29lx and Wilson Little Wil Extremely High SWR

Hi all, I just installed a Cobra 29LX and Wilson Little Wil magnet mount antenna on my pathfinder, it appears everything is hooked up correctly, and yet I keep getting SWR readings of 3 and above on channels 1, 20, and 40. I go through the Cobra factory recommended procedure to check and calibrate to SWR every time, and I understand the radio's meter is not as accurate as others, but I don't think it'd be reading a 3 when it's actually a 1.5. The antenna is preferrably mounted in the center of my roof, and even with trimming it, moving it to other locations on the roof, seeing if coiled wires were affecting the reading, and moving the whip up and down in its mount, I keep getting the same extremely poor results.

 

Any help?
