I'm trying to install the shorty antenna in the pic below, but I'm a little stumped on how to separate the part that the antenna screws onto from the black plastic piece. Does it just unscrew from it? I tried pliers but they slipped(need vise grips if it does in fact unscrew) ..anyone else use this antenna? Any help is appreciated.

 

i have that same antenna, i just took off my stocker and replaced it with that one....didnt use any of that other stuff

 

How did you get it to screw all of the way onto it? Mine screws like half way and leaves a gap.

As you can see the bottom of the antenna mount becomes narrow towards the top, that's where the problem is.

 

You shouldn't need to do anything. I have had two camaros and they both got the same antenna you have there and they screwed right on.

 

Lol, no way ..I wonder what the deal is with mine? They screwed on by hand? Mine seriously stops less than half way and won't budge(just scraped it up trying with pliers, even had them covered with something )

The simplest job can be so frustrating ..guess I could cut threads off..



Ended up using a couple of the pieces, turned out decent.

 

is there not a gap filler? i got an ebay stubby and it went right on

 

yeah i didnt have to do anything other than screw it on...no problems...you should contact the place where you got it, maybe the threads are screwed up?

 

So you got it on? Did you use that little black piece that comes with it? I only got mine half way down like you until I tried fitting the black piece with it.

 

I used one of these, I would take pictures but my car is getting painted

They usually come with like a plastic spacer to fill the gap if there is one. I see that in the picture you have what looks like a long plastic spacer. You could cut it to length to have it cover the gap or somethings up with the threads (such as damaged or threads dont match).

 

if i can find my pieces i can mail them to you
