Protege Garage has a shorty for cheaper if yall are still lookin. It's a little longer I think. I think i am gonna order it.

Wow! thats such a stub. Its shorter than mine(get your mind out or the gutter. lol)

I had the same one on my jetta. Did it come with an extra rod to make it shorter? I think mine had two extra rods.

Open hatch, remove 3? interior clips, pull down headliner a tad, 14mm? socket, unscrew nut and remove. Thats how I ran mine. I am very happy now!!!

 

[Mr.Ames]

yes, I know that, I meant the mount for it. I cant stick a wire down the screw-hole ha ha

oh lol. you should specify these things as to not look like a dumbass and no you cant run a wire through there, its just a screw hole. but if you find a way to pull the assebly off the car and run a wire through the hole, im sure many other members would be interested. you should work on that!

 

[Mr.Ames]

yeah i'm gonna dynamat the roof in the spring so i'll have a look when i have the headliner off. i was just wondering if someone knew already

i cut my stock antenna down to the stub and put a rubber cap from a rca input cable on the end. signal sucks, but thats what i have 3 days worth of music on my ipod for. then i ran an aux rca cable to the aux input behind my head unit to hook my ipod directly up to the cd player. when im done with the wire, i hide it in the glovebox.

hmm, good thing i read this part of the post, lol! damn my short attention span (ughdance)

 

[reynoldsrobbie]

now that I sit here and think about it, it was bigger than a 14, but dont recall what size? You get the idea though? I found it on a vw forum.LOL!

It blends well better some of the others I have seen, but I like my stock antenna. It reminds of a R/C car kinda, but I must admit it is quite huge.

Hell ya and when you try to wash it in the car wash the damn hose gets stuck on it and you have to move it ... DAMN IT there goes 20 seconds.
