Just a suggestion.

Add a 6 inch steel spring between the mount and the antenna, check to see if there is a grounding strap from the body of the vehicle to the frame and to the engine block, if it's not grounded to both then add grounding straps , both the spring and the ground straps should lower your SWR, most of the newer vehicles aren't properly grounded. (Body- Frame-Engine Block)

Hey OM
A long time ago I bought a mobile antenna with the same problem. An OM had looked at it and said briefly that the soldering points on the coil looked cold. Off to the soldering station, the two soldering points on the coil were replaced and then my SWR was perfect. 73+55
