Ouch!So I ordered this shorter one which fits a variety of models.Well I had to be extremely careful with the paint on the fender and use a tightened Cresent wrench and Channel Loc pliers to unscrew the factory metal unit. The factory unit had a six sided part just above the proprietary jam nut that locks the antenna to the fender.I found blue thread locker on the threads of the factory whip and assume that the jam nut on the base is almost rusted solid.This unit incudes about 5 different threaded screws to mount it. I used the largest and the smallest threaded together to fit into the female side of the factory base and it works very well.Maybe I am loosing 10 miles of radio range but it works well enough for my location and it looks good enough too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good replacement for whip type antennas *by on Reviewed in the United States August 6, 2021* On my 1994 Toyota 4runner the antenna is an about 2.5 feet long steel rod, great to hit every garage door overhang and branches and trees anytime off road. I bought a 13" same style antenna, looked great compared, but the range for the HD radio wasn't great. Bought this 17" version, still looks so much better than the factory whip, and the reception is almost the same if not the same. Easy to install is subjective, I turn a wrench often so this was about a 5 minute install. Comes with multiple adapters for all the different types of mounting brackets, I used some loctight red on the adapter to the antenna, and loctight blue on the antenna to the 4runner in case I ever want to remove it. I would buy it again, good size and reception. Can't comment on "car wash proof" as many others do, I don't use commercial car washes. Excellent product, would purchase again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Buy *by on Reviewed in the United States July 3, 2026* This is a great antenna. but for some reason wont fit my 06 F250.. It comes with adaptors , but none work on it.. Im thinking someone else changed original..
