Unless you listen to the radio I would shave it. I only listen to my Ipod so I shaved mine.

So, I'd shave it too. What if it's just making a clicking noise at the top while extending? Can I add a fixed mast, do I have to get a different base,(what's mounted inside the car)?

does the motor make noise? if so you can get a new mast for ~ $30. i did that when i bought my car 5 years ago and it works 95% but it doesnt go down all the way when its off but people have complimented me on here on my "shorty" antenna, lol

Im gettin a new motor instead of shaving it. Im doing this because to me it looks sleaker and it needs something to even it out, just like the gas door on the drivers side...IMO

Im goin to be put up a post here with the timelime and pics of the pint process
