Antenna

Has anyone out there changed out the stock antenna for something just a tad shorter? I am just tired of the antenna hitting the garage as I pull in. I can't seem to find anything put those cheezy looking rubber antennas that the guys put on their little rice burner cars.

Thanks

I just pulled the little ball off the tip, cut off a couple of inches, and replaced the ball. I don't notice any loss of signal.

Regards,

Joe

Does that little ball just pull off or what?

Yes it does. It's pressed on, but will come off with a little effort. I should mention that Ford probably made the attenna longer than the roof is high as an early warning that you may be going under something too short for the X.
