I thought I saw a post about this here before, but whatever...


Anyway, I'm looking into replacing the regular old radio antenna with on one of less stature. This past winter with the ice storm we had, it was in its regular position but the tip bent down to the roof of the car because of the weight of the ice and once I got it out and thawed it put a permanent 'bend' in the antenna. I tried to 'bend' it out, but that just made it more noticable and not straight... but I digress.


I see there are some on ebay, but I'm not too sure of them.

My question is, has anyone replaced their factory antenna and if so how did it affect the reception? Or does anyone have any suggested products I can check out? Does coastaletech make a snubbed-tenna? I didn't see one under the 00-04 section.

Thanks,

I 've not tried it myself but I found a photo at a JP website for your reference.

I got the 4" black aluminum stubby. Reception suffers in the boonies. Make me an offer.

Yeah, that's the one. I searched for a while but never saw it?? I just did a blanket search on "antenna" and this post didn't show up. Anyway, thanks for the assistance!


I'll see what I can find at the old Radio Shack.

Actually, I used Google search. I 've tried PriusOnline Search and it did not turn up either.

I believe the indexings are rebuilt starting from the March'05 crash. So those posts prior to the crash will not show up?

Just my $0.02.

PriusOnline needs a reindex BADLY! Someone was looking for a post, and I was able to find it through other means than a search. Then I searched using words found right out of the post, and it did not come up.

Also, clicking on the last page of some multipage threads comes up with 'post not found'.

I believe all of this is due to the big crash a few months ago. So Mr./Ms. Administrator, can you please reindex the database?
