I hope you're not saying other site sponsors are not good.

This is what I got from Harvey


The antenna is a quick change out, using a 7mm open end wrench to get the old one out and then use blue/medium Locktite when you put the new one in. The grommet will slide over the antenna after you get it installed and I installed the adapter in the antenna first using the 3mm socket to tighten it all the way then screwed the assembly into the hole on the Spyder.

The grommet seems to be a little hard to get it snapped into place but if you push in the bottom first then you can use more force to push in the top. It really fits tight and flush. I installed 4 yesterday and everyone was very happy with it.,

So...you did not need to get to the underside of the tupperware ? Thanks !

2. USING A SMALL LOCKING PLIERS GRIP THE BOTTOM BRASS PIECE ON THE ANTENNA AND TURN LEFT TO REMOVE.
3. CLEAN THE FLAT SURFACE AROUND THE THREADED HOLE WITH A CLEAN RAG AND RUBBING ALCOHOL AND LET DRY. SEE FIG. 1.
4. TAKE THE NEW RUBBER GROMMET FROM THE PACKAGE AND PUSH IT INTO THE HOLE ON THE BODY PANEL AS SHOWN IN FIG. 2.
5. REMOVE THE SET SCREW FROM THE PACKAGE AND CLEAN THE THREADS WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL. LET DRY.
6. PUT A SMALL DROP OF REMOVABLE THREAD LOCK ON THE THREAD NEAR THE END OPPOSITE OF THE HEX SOCKET.
7. INSTALL THE SET SCREW INTO THE ANTENNA MAST AND TIGHTEN WITH A 3MM ALLEN WRENCH. SEE FIG. 3.
8. PUT A SMALL DROP OF REMOVABLE THREAD LOCK ON THE EXPOSED THREADS OF THE SET SCREW.

10. YOU MAY NEED TO SLIGHTLY ROTATE THE GROMMET AS YOU ALIGN THE SET SCREW WITH THE THREADS IN THE SPYDER.

Looks like I will have Mine Friday

[Belrix]

So no word on F3T compatability?

The radio reception sucks so badly I'd be willing to try something new.

Just another purchase option, I have never had any issue with anything from value accessories.

[Pampurrs]

I just ordered one from SpyderPops. I don't ever listen to my radio (Not sure if it even works), but I just like the looks of this one better.

Thanks for the heads-up Joe.

Thank you for letting me know!

Just got my order in today! The antenna was very simple to install and looks GREAT! No more problems with putting on the cover with the original long antenna. OH and no more ep ep horn, installed the WOLO Bad Boy Horn. It too was very easy and sounds AWESOME!!

Thanks so much SPYDERPOPS!!!

[Pampurrs]

I received mine today and will probably install it tomorrow. Looks fairly simple.

Thanks SpyderPops for another speedy fulfillment!

New antenna with better range and much more solid, Just got this from Spyderpops and it comes with a new style boot that won't fly off and works with half or full cover without breaking, what do you think, looks good don't it?



Several of us were at Spyderpops yesterday and had them installed, very solid and good range. I especially like the new "boot" that is nice and tight.

I bought a replacement antenna from Walmart for about 9.00 and it works good, it comes with several fittings and you have to figure out which one to use, but I seen this on YouTube and it works.......

We were in Juneae today. Beautiful place.

[Pampurrs]

Installed mine today, took about ten minutes with most of the time spent wrestling the factory antenna off.
I had to pull out the manual and learn how to change and set radio stations, as I haven't used the radio in the 15 months I've owned my .
It seems to work well, although I can't compare it to how well the stock antenna worked since I never used it. It certainly looks better though.
