Rubber Antenna in Electrical

What I liked about this antenna was that my truck looked cool, what I didn't like was that it didn't have OEM antenna reception, in fact it often lost even the nearest local VHF stations and forget AM stations altogether. I would not recommend this type of antenna, I have found that most if not all antennas are about the same and reception is very poor.

Pros
  • Lighting and Electrical
Cons
  • Fading

Great alternative, negligible drop in reception

This is a great alternative to the factory antenna and is strong enough to withstand a car wash. The car wash pulled away from my truck behind the antenna and left dirt on the body from that side. After replacing the antenna with this, the washer did not come loose and cleans this side of the truck. The only downside is that reception has dropped a bit and I get static more easily than before. It doesn't bother me much as I use Apple Music/Podcast for most of my listening pleasure.

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Doubtful

Same reception. The clarity suffers slightly.

Overall good quality for the price. The styling is great and I love how it looks from the factory. Not quite the same reception quality. I'm getting my local stations, but I've noticed a bit more pops, crackles and/or hiss. I'll play with it a bit and see if it clears up and update it to 5 stars if it improves. Speech intelligibility simply does not correspond to the factory antenna. Just not as sharp and clear. It doesn't bother me, but some might, so I just wanted to let other people know.

Pros
  • Electric
Cons
  • weak
