What type of fitting do you have for the roof entry?

I mounted it in the hollow aluminum frame rail by drilling into it from the roof, then enlarging the hole with a file. Once large enough, I threaded the fitting into the hole, then removed & added sealant & re-installed it. The result:

I added additional sealant on the grommet where the wires passed through.
By having the connector under the panel, it is out of the sun and rain.
