Got a rubber antenna...now problems...

Firstly, is there any page that tells me how to install this? Secondly, would any universal rubber antenna work or did I need to buy a specific one (because our antenna base is slanted). I just bought a $8 Advanced Auto Parts antenna, but it looks difficult to install and if it is I'll just give the antenna to my friend.
Thanks in advance,
Cyrus

Does it replace the most or go on your roof like the VW ones?

Re: Got a rubber antenna...now problems...

The only hard part is finding the cable that goes to the antenna. If you have the C&C package with the motorized antenna, the actual antenna assembly has a couple of wire harnesses. You just can't do away with the unit. Life is much easier if you are just replacing a stock fixed mast unit as the wire should be evident. In any case, aftermarket antennas can be mounted at almost any angle. There is a part that goes under the sheet metal that is adjustable and just needs to be fastened tight at whatever angle you want.

Bummer, hope your friend has better luck.

I was going to ask if the diversity antenna might be a problem (or do you have aftermarket already)?
