I want to know how is the long rubber antenna attached to the car's roof? I'm trying to determine whether it fell off while I was driving or someone stole it.

Where can I find a replacement antenna?

 

ok.. from the tip of the antenna down to the sheet metal roof... about 8 inches... jh

 

Actually, I want to know how is the antenna attached to the base? Is it screwed on or is it fixed to the base with a pivot on the bottom?

 

oHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh ok.. my bad... sorrry........... i read it wrong......... hhhhmmm lemme get the flash light out... be right back.......
Ok I looked at the pivot point... NO fasteneers visable.. then looked above the pivot point going up the antenna & saw a seam... So I grabbbed the antenna & 'unscrewed'. Well I unscrewed the antenna all the way off! Now the pivot point remained on the car with the 'male' threaded end exposed. Inside the removed antenna shaft is a threaded 'female' end....
Hope this answeres your question.... jh

 

Not a problem. Thanks for checking it out.

I can confirm that some @#$#@$#@ stole my antenna!


I always get confused with the male/female ends. Would the antenna shaft's thread look something like this? Also, what's a good replacement for my missing antenna shaft?





Found it here:


Is it even worth $50???Link to Antenna

 

idk, if you listen to the radio, then I guess you have no other choice but to buy the $50 antenna.

I have the Shark fin on bottom of page. Had to wait but worth it. EXACT paint job and clear coated also.

 

I have a shark fin on mine. If you want I will send you mine if you pay shipping. Hit me at tank@tankspaintball.com.

 

they matched the color for you? thats awesome. i'm gonna look into getting one now.

 

They match the color specifically based on the paint code of the vehicle. Make sure you checka nd get it here if you do not have hte code. I believe codes are in a sticky note above here. Here is a close up shot to help you decide for sure...

 

Looks pretty tight. How was the installation? The website was a bit vague on the installation.

 

I just got the same one straight from VG at SharkfinAntenna.com at the lowest price I've seen.

I like how he gets the male/female ends mixed up.... weird huh?...

 

Thats why i prefer to deal with 2 male ends...less confusion.

 

Funny. I'll stick to the arrangement I have, 1 male to 2 female ends.

 

^^ Thats what happens when your antenna is too long for one female end.

 

And/Or when you get lucky enough to connect with a female end that doesn't mind sharing and has trouble dealing with your... "exuberance" shall we say. Appetite for life?
