So much talk about that too tall H-3 antenna and how it hits the garage door each time in and out of te garage.
It cost me $5.99 for this little rubber flex antenna made by Metra Roadworks. Five minute install and the problem solved.
These days regular AM/FM is almost a thing of the past with paid radio and CDs.
I rarely listen to AM/FM so loosing any reception was no problem, but it seems this little antenna delivers in the reception department. I saw no noticeable loss in reception, most stations came in strong.

 

Art what are you gonna do with the stocker antenna? I'll take it if you dont want it... give you $10 for it... you can always bring it this sunday

 

I've got to tell you that when it comes to anything I do I am careful, but with the stocker, I was at the mother-in-laws house and used a pair of channel locks to remove it, after the first few jaw bites, I thought I should have wrapped it in packing tape so not to scratch it, ten the job got worse as it seemed like the threads are eight inches long. I was upset with myself for ruining the antenna the way I did.
You certainly can have it, but it isn't worth a penny.
I'd have to grind it down and repaint it to use it again.

If I for some reason do not want the little rubber one on my H-3 any more, I won't be replacing it with the stock one I took off.

 

I have the flex antenna on my H3. I can difinetly lost reception but it's the price you pay.
