So I got this shorty antenna as a gift a few days ago and I had removed my stock antenna, however, the pieces that came with it were useless and the shorty alone cant screw onto the threads on the base of the antenna (base threads are slightly bigger than threads in shorty antenna) I was wondering if there is a way I can find a way to install this thing. Is there like an adapter I can buy that will make it fit? I also heard that the 2007+ cobalts are different than earlier cobalt models.

 

Yeah the 05-06 have different threads, they make two different shortys 1 for 05-06 and 1 for 07 and up.

 

any machine shop can make you a specific adapter but for it to be worth their while it'd be twenty or so bucks. so i say just buy the correct one

 

ah hell, it was only $10. looks nice though. its white with "carbon fiber" :P. ill see if my friend wants it and ill find another for the same price. any suggestions?

 

Bump, for suggestions

 

go buy the right mpx shorty antenna

 

i agree, mpx shorty^^^ other ones look like cheap **** and make the radio fuzzy.

 

My Friend Shaved my antenna, looks pretty cool

 

lol, I just cut mine real short and put a cherry on top !

 

ill look in to the MPX one. as for shaving it, I don't know. I really don't care for radio much since I hardly listen to it. I use my I-touch most of the time. lol

 

Yeah I don't listen to the radio either , ill post up pics later when my car is done
