Longer Antenna 13"

[SeaSteve]

Okay guys, I tried another antenna. This one actually makes a difference. It is an adjustable 12" - 19" antenna. I'm not sure if it was better in the 12" position, but is is definitely better in the 19" position. It is not flexible, and does not come with the needed 5mm adapter. I used the one from the first antenna.

Thanks again for the photos. It looks pretty good to me.

Does it come apart (unscrew) somewhere along the shaft?

No, it does not come apart. It is kinda like half a rabbit ear antenna. I still don't know what that slider part is for. I keep it down all the way to limit stress from the wind.

Got my "EBay" antenna this weekend. The "slider part" serves no propose. It's just plastic. Maybe the antenna is manufactured for different models and another model uses the piece. I used diagonal wire cutters to cut it lengthwise. Then carefully pulled it off the antenna. It's two pieces, glued together just above the thin metal ring and easy to separate for cutting.

It works better than stock and as good as the 17" aftermarket I bought from AutoZone. I like that it can telescoped down to a shorter length and it looks a little bit cleaner.
