Antenna

[reddemonx92]

I was wondering how do you remove the black base on the antenna? Does it just pull off? I wanna change it out for a new one but don't know if i should go with a shorty or sharkfin antenna.
Any inputs is appreciated.

remove your interior light and there is a nut inside

to remove your interior light, the clear plastic just pops off and then there's 3 screws holding it in place
once that's remove you'll see the nut holding the antenna

Go sharkfin. Get a real one though, not those cheap wanna-be's from Walmart. I bought one online for a BMW M3. Still haven't installed it though.

Wolfman, could you provide more feedback on the reception quality change after you install the shark fin? I went with the shorty antenna and my reception quality stayed pretty much the same except for some stations that were already weak ask it is... I didn't wanna stay with 31" antenna but was under impression that sharkfin would reduce my reception to close to none. are you loosing reception because of smaller antenna? if not - I may even go from shorty to sharkfin.

P.S. It's not that I listen to the radio that much, I just would like to retain that capability in case I need it.
