Customers say
Customers find the antenna works well and appreciate its quality, with one noting it’s a good replacement for vintage models. The installation experience is mixed – while some find it easy to install, others report issues with securing it properly. Reception and build quality receive mixed feedback, with some customers reporting great reception while others experience poor reception, and several noting it’s cheaply built. The antenna’s appearance receives positive feedback, though customers express concerns about rust resistance, with multiple reports of it rusting completely.

Good value, works very well, strong signal.
Well made, good old school design, goes well with my 50 year old car. Provides a good strong signal to the radio, much better than my old one.

Extend the life with heat shrink tubing
At 5/8″ wavelength this antenna provides extended coverage on FM and very good AM when clamped or grounded to the car/truck body. The spring at the bottom is a matching impedance so if its flexing due to wind resistance signal strength will fluctuate with the flexing of the spring. This is my second antenna, same make/module, where I’ve added heat shrink tubing to the spring and the joints where the antenna section connect. See the photos posted.For the price of an antenna don’t expect it to last for years and years, the chrome plating may rust overtime when exposed to extended sunlight and road/dirt grime. I use it for DXing while driving around in my 2001 buick.

replacement
works pretty good so far, a little bit on the flimsy side but it’s hanging in there seems to help me pull in the farther away stations, only have had it in for a couple of weeks will update later this year

Cheaply made junk, barely plated. Go to autozone instead.
Rusted on my truck both times within a year. You’d be better off using a coat hanger than this.

Great reception, NOT great if installed in roof.
The mounting system is not fun to install securely. After getting it all tightly secured over a bead of silicone gasket, it still wound up dripping water from the core onto my headliner. Not from the black gasket, but from the core where the wire comes out. To top it off, within 3 weeks I had rust on the spring and the adjusting screw. Stunned that it wasnât stainless steel screw and at the very least a coated or non-corrosive spring. Looks terrible now. Reception is perfect though. Not bad if youâre looking to replace a bad fender mounted antenna on a rust bucket that you donât mind a rusty antenna on. Not recommended for roof installs.
