• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Missing grommet from antenna base - are they available?

gkamer

Sadly passed away, December '23.
While getting ready for a ride I noticed the grommet that fits over the antenna on my 2018 RT is missing. I'll have to see if I can find one to replace it. I really not need the whole antenna just the grommet. I hope I don't get any water in there.
 
I have never seen just the grommet; I have only seen it with the antenna. You might try calling your local dealer to see if they have them without buying the antenna. I have seen some antennas here "click: https://www.lamonstergarage.com/show-chrome-short-spiral-antenna-can-am-spyder-lamonster/

I suppose if push came to shove, I could just as well replace the antenna as well. Replace it with a shorty and keep the original one as a back up. Twenty bucks ain't bad.

In fact I just went ahead and ordered this through Lamonster.

perhaps local hardware store (like ACE) would have an acceptable replacement for like $0.50?

Yeah, No! :lecturef_smilie:

The 'grommet' on Spyders for the antenna base is pretty unique, a 2" or so tall cylinder with an angled base profiled to match the angled trunk edge with an 'insert & turn in order to lock in' base, and anything that's more readily available from places like ACE etc would require a fair amount of modification to even work.... but that's not gonna improve the way they'd look! :shocked: . :barf:

The shorty antenna with it's own 'grommet' is a pretty good alternative that looks OK & if mine is anything to go by, probably works better as an antenna too! :thumbup:
