Works dependably up to 50 feet

I had bought a couple of shorter antennae on eBay a year or two ago, both longer than this. One worked somewhat, one not at all. Having read reviews of mixed satisfaction, I decided to try The Stubby Jr after a CravenSpeed employee assured me the company would return a product that was unsatisfactory; this was key because it wasn't listed to fit my Mercedes SLK, but I figured a product listed for a Mini would likely have the same size threads. Glad I tried it! This little gem works up to about…

Pros
  • Easy to install. The quality is outstanding. Great for the money.
Cons
  • May require drilling or cutting to achieve perfect fit

Great Look and Fit!

Great fit on my F55 5 Door Mini Cooper S! Easy to install with the supplied threading attachments. Reception isn’t a big deal as I mostly listen to Spotify on Bluetooth. No more taking the antenna off at the car wash!

Pros
  • ✔ BUILT TO LAST FOREVER: The Stubby Jr is 2 inches of all metal. It's small enough to be sure to fit under your garage door and incredibly sturdy- machined out of billet aluminum & then powder coated with a durable black textured finish that will not fade break or chip.
Cons
  • May not be as good at receiving HD radio signals

Fits my 2016 Jeep Cherokee perfectly

I have a really big roof cargo box that requires me to put my cargo box as far back as possible, the original jeep antenna is too long and would be in the way, so I bought this one and solved my problem, and fits perfectly.

Pros
  • Just what I ordered
Cons
  • Still trying to see if it was the same as the main antenna

Cleans up the roof line

Very small but still offers perfect clarity and reception… installs easily so it can also be removed quickly to be used in self defense as a small shive against homeless people or crackheads…

Pros
  • With its small footprint and low profile design, the 2-inch CravenSpeed Stubby Jr Antenna won't interfere with other antennas or accessories that may be installed on your Mini Cooper, such as roof racks or satellite radio antennas
Cons
  • May require adjustment in different weather conditions

Shipping problem solved quickly by customer service

The original order arrived very quickly, however it was missing the threaded stud. I sent an email to the customer service address in the box, and within minutes, Danielle from CravenSpeed customer service had a replacement item in the mail with a postage paid return label. Thank you for the quick turn around. The antenna fits perfectly and works well. The great customer service was a pleasant surprise.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • May not improve resale value of the vehicle

Looks great on mini cooper convertible

Worked fine, I did not notice a loss in reception. Instructions would have been nice, i.e. which way does the adapter screw go in, hex wrench side into antenna or into car.It looks so much better than that long antenna on my mini cooper convertible.

Pros
  • Nice little antenna, Reception is just as good as the OEM.
Cons
  • May not improve search engine visibility as advertised

Very small and works

The original long antenna on my wife's 2011 Mini Cooper S Convertible was falling apart and would make a "thwap, thwap, thwap" noise hitting against the roof when on the highway. Unscrewed the original and screwed this little guy on. Very easy replacement. No noticeable change to the reception and no more thwapping! It it quite small. When the top is down, this little thing looks so much better than that long stick that was up there.

Pros
  • Lighting & Electrical
Cons
  • May cause damage to the roof or antenna base during installation

Stubby is Better for my opinion

Love my 2022 Mini Cooper S. Did not love the long antenna that came standard. Found this Stubby on Ebay and thought I'd try it. I am NOT a mechanic in any way but WoW it took longer to get the little guy out of the package than it did to install it. NO tools required. Just unscrew the long wire antenna, screw in the Stubby. Reception? Much better with the Stubby. I think it deserves more than 5 stars!Mini Away!Jyl

Pros
  • Easy to install and like how it looks. Seems to work great too, haven’t been able to test it out much.
Cons
  • May not receive weather alerts as well as the factory antenna

Works fine on my review.

I got this because I sometimes put a kayak on my roof rack and it did not clear the stock antenna. This is the right size and I don't notice any drop in reception.

Pros
  • Nothing to dislike. It fit and didn’t fall off. Lol
Cons
  • Shorter length may not be aesthetically pleasing to all owners
