Default Question about the stubby antennas ....

I just bought one of those stubby antennas online and am expecting it in the mail within the next few days.(First Mod!!!!) My question is, is there any way that I can keep @ssholes from just unscrewing it and taking it? I mean, other than the obvious super glue of course .... Thanks

Great, so a threadlocker from Loctite or Napa .. I never heard of it .. Where could I pick one up, Pepboys? Also, what if I put one of these on, then later I want to change out the antenna? Am I going to be able to take the antenna off afterwards? Thanks again. SL ROCKS!!

lol. NAPA is where you can pick it up (or any other auto parts store). Its called Locktite brand Blue Thread Locker. There's other colors but those are for different applications.

Loctite is an adhesive - glue - http://www.loctite.com/int_henkel/loctite_us/index.cfm

If you want to take it off, you have to break it off. If you really want the stubby, You'll want to pocket it when you're not near your car... it sucks, I know. You could just take it off when you're in a bad area but, theft happens everywhere anymore.


Good luck!

It may not stop a theif that really wants it, but it will stop a random person that is jsut taking it to be a d**k.
