Wow! $30? Is it really that much of a hassle that you need an antenna that's about what... 6 inches shorter than stock???

I'm just wondering how you get a car cover on now? Do you do the mirror first or the antenna first?

Question

Got my shorty from LMR in the other day, but I can't get my antenna off? I know it's just supposed to unscrew, but mine just keeps turning; I don't get it. Any ideas??

I don't see what the big deal is with the stock antenna (changed the one on my '08 to a shorty...but the 10 is just A-OK to me)....and the stock one is black.

I bought a shorty antenna from BBR, looks much better than stock to me. You would think by now there would be no need for an antenna to stick up from the car. Heck I never listen to the radio.

Yeah, I don't listen to the radio either. I don't mind the antenna on the 2010+ though (kind of a style accessory) or even the 2005-2009 if a shorty antenna is installed.

What I really dislike is the 'trunk turd' they put on the satellite equipped cars. I had some damage to the rear of my car and had to replace the trunk lid...at which time I took the opportunity to get one without the satellite antenna hole. FWIW, you can put the antenna behind the back seats completely hidden and it seems to work fine without it being on the trunk. Ford could have done a much better job placing it...or at least given us just ONE antenna instead of multiple ones.

Yup the BBR is awesome. It's a subtle, yet noticeable change. Best $30 mod next to the rear light tint.
