Good Quality-With One Modification
This is a great product with a substantially larger mounting surface than the antenna it replaced. As delivered, this should hold up better than others I’ve had. I’ve given it 4 stars only because my experiences with glass mounted antennas has led me to modify it slightly.
The modification is necessary because of automatic car washes. Rotating brushes will eventually overpower the adhesive and rip the antenna and mount off the glass. Unscrewing the antenna every time my truck is washed is not only time consuming but eventually wears the fine brass threads reducing a secure connection and conductivity. Loosening the mount and lowering the antenna so it’s facing downward out of the way of brushes is a much better solution.
As delivered, a philips screwdriver is required to lock the antenna into position. I’ve found an Allen wrench is a better tool for this if it’s going to be done often (I wash my truck 2 or 3 times a month).
If a more easily adjusted locking bolt were to replace the Philips, I would gladly give the antenna 5 staris.
Note:
I’ve also added a (modified) wing nut so I can use my fingers and rely on the allen bolt for additional grip on long trips or visits through parking ramps.
I’ve attempted to add a photo of what I described but was unable to. If that gets fixed, I’ll add it.
