This is a "BRAND NEW" Custom SHORT 5" Rubber Antenna Mast. Sick of a Broken/Bent antenna or the obnoxiously tall un-stylish antenna your vehicle comes with?? After years of testing this mast we have found that the AM/FM reception is 50% as good as the factory mast that your vehicle was made with. The reduction in antenna performance is due to the antenna size being reduced. ** This antennas main design is for appearance enhancements. Its AM/FM radio reception performance is great for local stations (Satellite Radio/Navigation/Bluetooth not effected). For the BEST reception short antenna check out our SHORT 6 3/4" antenna found in our store.
