Power antenna swap??

[trvlnmann]

I'm about to order a new car cover and want to swap the non-power antenna for a powered unit. My current $300 cover wore through and eventually developed an 18" tear from the antenna base.

Have anyone swapped theirs out? If so do you have any recommendations, part #'s or suggestions? I would like to find one that has a short mast and tilts back on an angle.

BTW, this is for an 86' Vert with the antenna in the left 1/4 panel.

There are not too many choices out there. You have the cheap ones or the not so cheap ones. Both are pretty much the same set up and size, just a little bit of quality differance. The real problem is the mounting area as it's limited in size. Also not too many in black. I know the cheap one only lasted about 1 year. I don't recall where I got my current one. Fry's or Crutchfield.
