Shorty Antennas
 

You guys really need to find a new supplier for your shorty antennas. I've had two break on me in probably about a year. The first one broke off when I bumped into it and the second one just broke off while cruising at highway speeds. It left me with just a little stump. I'd be more than willing to pay a little more for one that's made out of better materials that won't break just by driving around with the antenna on.

It helps when you tell us what antenna you're using...lol.

Both times it was this one:

I was about to buy the 8 inch one and see if that one was any better, but Stephen has that one and it just broke.

I've had my 8" antenna for 3 years. Still goin strong even with the antenna trooper on top

I bought my 8" in January and its still holding up.

never had a problem with mine and i've had it for almost 3 years now

I think you and stephen just need to stop sticking them in your asses, switch.


lol

That's not saying much. Just saying Stephen alone is like saying broke or is going to break. Hell, I think from now on I'm going to replace the word broke with Stephen'd. lol.

and I've the 8'' for about a week and so far so good! :cool: haha

Mine is from AM been on since 04 still fine

Hm, maybe I keep getting bad ones.

LOL. so true...so true.

Should of just cut the stocker down like I did for free and not worry about it.

I dont understand how you can break them off... I've had my 8" since 05 never had a problem..

I think that's what I'm going to do. I have the stock antenna in my garage somewhere. I just have to find it.

i got one two week ago it only last two day

You guys just need to hang the gay pride flags a little lower on the antenna, it can't handle that much weight. ;)

Seriously though, I don't think I've ever heard of any problems with the shorty antenna's. I got my 14" about a month ago and it's pretty stout, not really any different from stock.. The 8" was on the car for at least a year with no problems and has been passed on the Nick to use now.. Seriously, how are they breaking? Are you running the car through automatic car washes or something?

Exposure to Stephen, causing them to slowly start Stephening, and then they'll eventually just Stephen.

I hope that sums it up. :smokin:

I agree.

I've had mine for not even a year and it is already rusting and fading in spots. It bends easily, too. Last time I washed my car, I hit it with my elbow and it bent about 45*. I think Stack Racing makes those antennas... which explains everything.

Mine has held up perfect, it was on the car when I bought it and it's still in perfect condition.

+1

I've had mine for about a year now and it looks fine. I was forced to take it through an automatic wash (with the damn brushes) once and it did bend but I bent it back into shape easily.

i was hand washing my car and just barely bumped mine with my elbow while doing the windshield and it snapped. same with my buddys car and the Ford dealership broke his.

That's exactly how my first one broke. I hardly touched it and it snapped right off.

I've had mine on my Mustang since 2004 no problems at all. In fact we have very few problems with these antennas and we sell a ton of them. You probably just had bad luck to get two bad ones...unless you are using the antenna for other nefarious uses as suggested by some of your fellow forum members! :D Just PM me your info and I can get a new one sent out to you.

I figured it wasn't relevant ;)

Thanks Nick!
