Had it for a week...window tint was fixed, car ran through car wash (Not by me) and all that remained was a bolt in the antenna base. Lucky a small wrench took care of that...

So a dremel to my stock antenna, and we're back in business. I will clean the end with sand paper, and plasti dip the antenna - I think the actual DIP not the spray would work better. Or maybe just black paint?

 

Looks great! Let us know if you get a popping noise while listening to the radio.

 

No popping - why would that happen? Reception was slightly degraded, however, not enough to care. I need to clean up the tip, hope that makes a difference - if not, I will go back to stock.

 

Hey Earl,

Although I have to admit, your DIY job looks great, I hate to hear about the MMD antenna, it should definitely not break like that!

At your earliest convenience, shoot me over your order # and I will have your card refunded AND have a new antenna sent out to you at no cost.

Hope this helps and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you!

On the old style rod antenna if the little ball on the tip was removed it would build a static charge causing a audible pop noise to be heard while listening to the radio.

 

Interesting, I was unaware that those where anything more than an end cap

 

Let us know when you have a chance to drive around and listen to the radio. You might be a leader on a whole new mod.
