when cutting the stock antenna, does the ball on the top just pull off?
You have to knock the ball off. Clamp the antenna and use something with a "V" I used a superbar and a hammer, but you could use the claw of one hammer and use another to knock it off. Just watch where it goes! [sm=nerd.gif] Then cut the antenna to desired length, taper the new end, and reattach ball with superglue. If needed, touch up with black paint or marker. There ya go free mod.[sm=happy046.gif]
Has anyone accidentally washed their car with it off and put the antenna back in the hole with water in it? I did after taking it through a drive through car wash (I live in Germany its illegal to wash the car anywhere besides a car wash), and have theirs rust inside?
