I rescently removed my antenna and want to locate some kind of internall antenna to clean up the outside of my car(I'm also shaving door handles and locks)what type will work well,I don't want to use one of those windshield tape P.O.S. any suggestions

None are going to work well. Why not french a power antenna instead of shaving it completely? If you french the power antenna you'll only have a 3/8" hole, and if you're crafty you can even attach a flush piece to the top of the antenna so when it's closed everything's all nice and smooth.

JIM85IROC,

Is it possible to put a power anntenna where the original is? I have heard there is not enough room in the fender for them to fully retract.

Power antennas were options on third gens, however only a factory antenna will fit. I have tried four different types of power antenna and cannot find one that will fit. There is a brace located about 9" from the top of the fender and only the factory antenna will clear this. I have been searching for five months for an anteena for my car. I am probably going to have to buy new from the dealer.

valu8or,
If you find this at a dealer do mind telling me how much they would want?

 

my car came with a factory power antenna,I removed it and don't want anything on the outside,I am looking for other options,I saw an underdash antenna in a classic industries catalogue has anyone tried one of these???

 

Mark, I will buy your factory power antenna if it works, let me know. e-mail me at valu8or@home.com
