That 'Disposable' D-Pillar Wagon Antenna.....Fixed! 200

Two things I'd feel remiss for not mentioning:

1. The threads on both of these units are female 6mm with a 1.0 pitch to match the threads on the antenna stud on the factory unit. However, I noticed that on EACH of them, it seemed that the manufacturer had a bit of difficulty cutting the threads cleanly. This makes the initial install seem like the masts do not fit. They do. I strongly suggest the use of a slightly oiled 6 x 1.0 tap to clean out the crud inside each of them.

2. The consensus is strongly in favor of the looks of the carbon fiber mast. 100 high school kids can't be wrong, after all. A small rubber spacer, supplied with the CF mast takes up the slight gap between the bottom of the mast and the adjusting nut on the OEM unit. Use it. It's the finishing touch.
