Tex Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 I just recently purchased a 2009 Journey R/T and when I went through the car wash it kindly removed the plastic cover on my antenna. I was looking in eBay and noticed there is a option for a 4" antenna replacement and I was wondering if these are any good? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks all.

OhareFred Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Next time unscrew the antenna before you go through. I had one snap off at the base and had to change the entire base! Good thing it was under warranty Tex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on mobile and not really sure how to do the link thing. Let me see what I can do. They're 4" antennas to replace the standard antenna and I don't know if a shorter antenna is going to pick up line the standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armando G Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 If you are talking about the little STUBBIES, they are not that great. I am wanting to change the look and install the fin type of antenna. My last car had one and it worked great. Just afraid the adhesive on the ones I found will fail through a car wash. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Roof-Style-Shark-Fin-Antenna-Radio-Signal-AM-FM-Aerials-for-Toyota-Ford-VW/282791083999?fits=Make%3ADodge|Model%3AJourney&hash=item41d7a97fdf:g:avIAAOSwb79aRbCn&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if we replace the tape that comes with it with a better two sided tape from a parts store? Should be able to find the stuff the use for side molding, that stuff is gorilla strong, haha. I think the fin is the route I'm going to take, I will post pics when I get it done. Thanks again Armando Gemm75 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
