Installed VW New Beetle type radio antenna

Sorry, not a fan.

I think it's the angle of it that is not right... I guess I was thinking you would replace the rear window nozzle with the antenna

looks like it's driven by remote.

AHAHAHHAA YES! Something was off but I couldn't exactly place my finger on it, but that's exactly what it is! LOL

Well, I was going for function over form, so I'm happy!

agreed.... the angle is off, just doesn't follow the lines of the car.
Also, mooneggs has a good point about replacing the rear window nozzle, it would be more pleasing to the eye

But as long as you like, its all that matters

holy moly... i thought we were talking about the shark fin, but yea.. i think we were ALL thinking it would go in the back

It was not a style decision, I am a contract engineer for a local AM station and need good reception at all times. The stock antenna is junk.

I bet you could shave the base of it, so it lays down more, and alter (maybe shim) the mounting bolt underneath. It would look much better. I know you just need it to work, and are probably done with dealing with it, but that's my 2¢. It's well done, workmanshipwise, though.

Function over form! It would be vertical if I were to adjust angle. Physics does not care for looks!

I love this guy!

audiophile FTW. Who cares if it looks like s---, if it beats the crap out of your pretty one.

Isn't that baisically our motto?

Should the AE not be pointed up for the best AM reception?
BTW AM radio FTL.

I want to know where did you place the antenna on the car?
