Dorman 76865 18 1 5 Antenna Review

This one is the right length compared to the original and seems to fit and work quite well (signal retention not as good as in my van but I don't know if the The problem is with the antenna or the main unit).

Same as OEM only newer. I originally replaced my antenna with the short version. I live 65 miles from most of the stations I listen to and this antenna picks up weak stations much better than a short one.

It's great to have such a strong, crystal clear signal again! I was a little hesitant to order this antenna as it is cheap but I am a fan of Dorman products and as always this is the perfect replacement for the original antenna. I have never had a problem with a Dorman product. Ty Dorman!

I bought this to replace a damaged antenna on my 2009 VW Rabbit. It was the perfect match. Simply unscrew the old antenna and screw it in. I couldn't tell any difference in sound quality over the radio. I would recommend this antenna instead of buying it directly from VW, they want to charge about $60 for it.

I liked it so much when I first installed it on my 2007 Jetta that I later installed it on my 2009 Mazda 6. My Mazda 6 came without. Its rear window serves as an antenna. So I drilled a hole in the roof and fitted this antenna with a housing made for the Jetta and then hooked it up to my stereo. Works better than standard setup. Love it.

This antenna is a direct replacement for the factory antenna on a 2009 VW Jetta sports car. Simply unscrew the old antenna and screw on the Dorman antenna, done. I have not noticed any difference in radio reception between the Dorman and factory antennas. The reason I needed a new antenna was that the rubber base of the original antenna was cracking and affecting the look of my car.

My husband drives a 2008 VW Rabbit and his antenna broke on the way to the car wash. Since then, everything the radio has played has been static. We used Revain Garage, which allows you to find the right parts for your car depending on the year and model. That's how we found this replacement antenna for his car. Now the radio will sound clear and all its normal radios will work. We are so glad we were able to find this quality replacement antenna so quickly and easily from Revain. Great music…

After riding it for over two years (so yes I tested it and then a little) I noticed this one has a lot after switching to a smaller antenna from interference and low signal levels. Antennas must be tuned to the frequency they will be operating at, and they all have bandwidth (the range above and below the tuned frequency where they can operate effectively). Being close to another station's antenna means the antenna is not properly tuned for FM usage (maybe the radio is better but has never been
