Not sure if this is the right spot to post this.. Please let me know..

I bought a shorty rubber antenna on Ebay and the stud on my 07SS is too fat for the Antenna and the adapters that came with it. So I email them and say that the antenna doesnt fit my car. So they tell me to unscrew the Stud thats on the car and put screw in one of thier adapters and the antenna will fit.. Does this sound right? does the stud unscrew?
wanna ask b4 I go strippin things...Please help a n00b...

 

Please tell me what you decide to do. I've been waiting for a good stubby option for a bit now and didn't want to be the first to get in your position .

 

ehhh. it was like $10 for the antenna so if I have to go buy a better one its no biggie.
I just dont wanna break anything on the car now.. just got it in Jan...

 

Try an antenia from a Corvette its steel and its about half the length of the Cobalts and screws right on.

Hope this helps.

 

Does the Vette Antenna have the Fat female for the Fat male stud... Hmm didnt sound right but yeah...

 

^^ No it won't. The 05 and 06's are 6 mm, the 06 1/2 and 07's are 7 mm, that's why it won't fit...
I have heard the dealer sells a 7 mm shorty, I'd assume all model 07's have the 7mm - but idk.

 

thanks guys.. im gonna check that out at the dealer tomorrow.. worth a shot.
Ive seen a thread on here about a guy that cut the original antenna and glued the ball back on the top..not even going to try that... once again thanks...

 

Wow the search feature blows! I remember a thread where members were saying they fit a Corvette antenia on thir Balt's a few even posted pics, the antenia came to almost even with the roof line. I searched but I couldn't find it sorry. I'm not sure what years Vette it was from.

Sorry and good luck.

 

I just bought the corvette 8" and it bolts directly to the existing antenna stud.

 

Kaisoboy... it directly fits to an 07SS Stud?
I did use the search feature and did find that one with the $19.99 Vette antenna only for 05-06 1/2 Balts... mine is an 07....

 

There ya go guys!

Damn how'd you find that?!?! I looked and came up empty!

now do I need to show a Senior member how to search?? LOL kidding..
thanks for the help.....

 

Dude I seriously DO NOT KNOW EVERYTHING! LMAO! Thats why I asked where you found it at. And thanks for finding BTW cause I'm kicking round the idea myself. BTW I'm only a senior member cause of my couple uber posts like "help from the parts department" or "GM color matched spray paint"

 

I believe I have identified the source of your problem...

www.shortyantennas.com the original and still the best. Available in many styles and colors... screws right on... no problems... and dosen't look like a "walkie-talkie" antenna.

Or you can cut the stocker and put the tip back on... you can also get one of the shorty's for the C5 vettes... looks decent as well.

 

Ah, sorry not sure if it would fit your car. Mine is an early 06.

I'm not sure if this is a fix or would work. I parked my car at a mall and someone broke my original antenna off my car (Fockers). They actually broke the stud so I had to replace the antenna piece with the stud inside the fender. I bought it from the dealer for around $19.00 CAD here in Calgary. So, if you want the Corvette 05-06 shorty $19.95 US + fender mounting hardware $19.99 CAD your total is not all that bad if it is a direct swap to the 07s. I would take it as only the stud size is different. (shrug).

Just a solution.
