VY car antenna replacement

'only' $70

I have replaced my fully functional automatic aerial with a $12 rubber one for aesthetics - not just the visual but that clunky noise it makes irritates me.
Next step is to put the old one up on ebay I suppose.

I found out today - at 110kmh it lays down pretty flat.

They only cliunk when the rope gets stripped, the clunk noise is the gear skipping teeth.

who cares ...the rubber one functions well and looks better

Post a pic on the car Im not convinced, especially if it cant even stay upright at freeway speeds.

 

[Fletch_QLD]

Nah mate - it's not that it can't stay upright - it automatically lays down to reduce friction at higher speeds

Best pic I can manage at the moment - not that I want to convince anyone. I love it. I'll look at taking a better photo tomorrow.

i started another thread but I'll ask here.

My clunky VY aerial just failed a roadworthy for the gear skipping teeth Does that sound right?

Anyway, if it is, I'll go the $13 supercheap route, so thanks for the post

idk bout u but my arial doesnt go up or down, i had to pull it up so i just left it at about a quarter up

 

[Fletch_QLD]

That's crazy that an aerial becomes a roadworthy issue - I guess that means they couldn't find anything else?
How much did they quote to replace it?
