i did this today and it looks really good i got sick of looking at the antenna whipping

I tried this over the weekend but I didnt get very good signal reception after i did it in my area, must have a week signal strength from the get go, thinking about looking at doing someing like black denali to see if i can get reception with something like the onstar antenna

 

[tybardy]

Hey NoProRobb... Just for ***** and grins I removed my onstar antena and put it in place of my radio antena about 6 months ago. I got TERRIBLE reception with it. I get much better reception with this mod then i did with the onstar one

thats my experience though... results may very

LOL, who would have guessed, im debating about doing it again, i never drove around with it because it cut so fuzzy when i took it off, i was thikning about giving it another chance and driving it around for a few days to see how it is.

I am going to do this. I saw this a few years ago, but never got around to it...

I did this yesterday and it really looks a lot better with it not visable...Another good thing about this Mod is it makes it way easier to get snow off my windshield with no antenna in the way

Did the mod and put the solid piece in. Looks much better.

thats the main benifit i noticed that would be better, no trying to deal with the dang antenna while trying to wash or scrape your windshield

This is an awesome post!

I hate that antenna sticking up there. I already ordered the soild panel replacement, and I will be laying that antenna down tomorrow!

 

[Narco]

what were you talking about a hole in the fender for then?

 

[97turbocobra]

Thanks For the write-up.Ill be doing it thos weekend

 

[bthomas02tahoe]

Did my antenna delete this morning!

It literally took me 7 minutes, and it looks a million times better! I only lost 2 og my pre-programmed stations, but never really listened too the radio anyhow.

The only thing left to do is snap in the solid panel when it comes! Thanks for all for pointing this out to me!

Can't wait to do more mods!

I wonder how much difference grounding the base to the chassis makes a difference, an also wonder if the mast touching the fender has any negative effects, maybe suspending the mast away from the fender a bit with some rubber grommets would be a good idea? Just throwing some ideas out there

 

[Narco]

mine isnt touching the fender...it rests in the rubber stopped alongside the fender. someone somewhere said they tried grounding it and it made no difference in reception.

Did this over the weekend. Looks good, but I didn't tell the wife, I'm waiting for her to notice and ask me about it.

 

[Narco]

^ wifey notice? yeah right! mine wouldnt have noticed the rims and drop if i hadnt pointed it out! lol

 

[MikeTheApeman]

Christ, mine didn't notice my vent visors until I pointed them out. She won't notice this one, no doubt.

 

[yukondoit]

Haha.. I'm wondering how long it'll be until she notices it. She's the type where she just jumps in, puts the keys in and drives off.

 

[Travieso]

lol hahhah, im always excited to show her my new mods and she's just like for that you took X amount of hours, lol im like yeesssssss she's like oh i dont notice a difference go figure women !!
