Hey, I am installing the 13" eurostyle antenna. I took the old antenna off, but do I have to take the entire thing out from the trunk as well? Because it wont fit on the same screw that the original was on.

 

I bought one for my 05 LS and it worked fine, just screwed right on, mine came with adapters, i didnt need them but it came with them.

 

Yah mine wont just screw on, so I am trying to figure out what to do now. Damn pain in the ass!

 

Has anyone had to use the adapters?? If so what did you have to do?

 

It's only one screw... shouldn't be that hard...

 

It doesn't fit that screw!! Thats why I am asking if I need to take that screw out and replace it with on of the adapter screws. Everyone else is saying it just fits, then why do they ship with adapters?????

 

wow guy~ this is what u do.... go to where u bought ur car, hand them the keys and back away slowly.

 

they send adapters because its universal. Mine was universal and went right on. haha. Anyways thats why you dont trust ebay...

 

just redrill and tap the hole to fit the OEM antenna screw. i believe the oem screw is 5mm

 

Dude what the **** is your problem, I am just askin for a little help. I thought that was what this place was for. I wanted to know if anyone else has run into the same issue and if so what they did.

 

I guess I will have to do that. I took the entire antenna out and there is no where for the adapters to "adapt". I must have been shipped the wrong one. Thanks for your help though!

 

You can buy them from Canadian Tire for $10. Look for a 13" Rubber Mast or something. Don't drill if you don't have to.

 

your the lucky one your antena screws off mine wont even budge i cant get the damn thing off

 

dude, if it doesn't fit, they sent you the wrong one... it should just scew in, no mods necessary...

 

dont buy the shitty rubber ones. just buy one on ebay and redrill it. looks so much better. Check it.

 

Actually the BEST solution I've seen so far is to get a body shop to shave that **** completely. IF you still want to listen to the radio (I have XM so I'm going to skip this part) you can get a small powered bi-pole antenna that mounts to the inside of your back window. That's about as sleek as you're going to get.

 

Hey,

Don't mind the useless comments... happened to me also.

The deal is that with the late '06 models, GM changed the thread size of the antenna mast (from 6mm to 7mm if I remember correctly). I assume you're talking about the short rubber AntennaX ebay model. It was supposed to be a direct screw on. AntennaX is in the process of making the updated version.

AntennaX will refund you if you ship it back.

Have a good one.

 

Thanks man, appreciate the helpful info!
