I love the new RAV, but that long whipping antenna is bugging the **** out of me!!!! Has anyone found a suitable replacement that is a bit shorter, but doesn't affect the reception?

Don't remember the exact size but you could easily find out at your local Home Depot. Just size it using a tool over there.. May be #8 or #10 or 3/18... Remember to get a fine thread. Otherwise, you would not be able to screw it.rob4.3 said:kendfw: What size screw did you get?
I ended up buying the 6 inch black powder coat one from this site. Thanks for the link! It looks really nice. I will post a picture later this weekendrob4.3 said:I'm considering one of these http://www.brandsport.com/uncuan6to21.html.
In the mean time I'm using a cheapie $3 plastic dud (see album) that I bought from Autozone.

Did you have to use any adaptor or did it fit perfectly? Yes, please post pics. I've been putting off buying 'cause I haven't decided which length to get. I like the black ones as well since I have a flint mica.sstarrx3 said:I ended up buying the 6 inch black powder coat one from this site. Thanks for the link! It looks really nice.

It comes with several adapters for various makes of automobile, including the Toyotas. Check out the PIC in my albumrob4.3 said:Did you have to use any adaptor or did it fit perfectly?

It is a 6 inch antenna and no I didn't notice any change, but to be honest I listen to XM Radio all the time anyway, except to get a local traffic report. It was an asthetic thing for me. I think the small antenna just looks nicerraven93 said:wow looks great what size did you get? did you notice any change in the radio reception?
I found out that members of RAV4world get 10% off on purchases from that site (brandsport.com). Were you able to get a discount? If yes, what promo code did you use? If not, maybe our moderators can let us know?sstarrx3 said:I ended up buying the 6 inch black powder coat one from this site.
I did not get the 10% discount. I wasn't aware we got a discount for being RAV4World members. Oh well, I do like the antenna thoughrob4.3 said:I found out that members of RAV4world get 10% off on purchases from that site (brandsport.com). Were you able to get a discount?

There's a very inconspicuous text in the order page that said "Interested in a Discount?". Here is the link for more info about the rav4world discount http://www.brandsport.com/rav4world.htmlsstarrx3 said:I wasn't aware we got a discount for being RAV4World members.
