Review on 📡 Dorman 926-114 Antenna Mast Repair: OE FIX for Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC Models by Robert Ewing

I found this kit while looking for parts to replace the entire antenna assembly. Seems like a great alternative. However, I will say that you may need some penetrating oil to get rid of the old dried black rubber isolators. Mine was fully captured by part of my 2001 Silverado's antenna. It took over an hour to chop, clean, scrape and sand. I think the oil may have helped loosen it up so it can be taken off in one piece. Once I removed it, the repair kit snapped into place and I was able to install my new shorter rubber antenna. When everything is installed you will not be able to tell this repair kit apart from the entire assembly. Didn't get a chance to test the radio reception but will update my review once I have more time with the kit. Thought that would help at first. If the antenna breaks again for any reason, it can be quickly replaced thanks to this kit. I used the large bolt that came in the box hoping it would last longer than the standard thin bolt that was also in the box and came on my truck from the factory.
