Default Antenna Alternative...
Hey guys... my motorized antenna has been broke for a few years now and is stuck in the UP position...

I'm wondering what my options are for filling up the antenna hole if I take my antenna out until i can afford to have it shaved...

is there any kind of rubber gromlet type thing, or even a stubby antenna to stick in it's place?

dakota digital makes an electronic antenna, if you wanted to get away from a visible antenna altogether, the part number i have on hand is DAK-ANT-1000, they cost $70 so they arent the cheapest option, i found it on summit racing but im sure other places carry it
