I was just sitting here thinking. Is there anyway you could remove the anetnna from the car w/o having a big whole in your car?
Or be able to drive w/o your antenna be up. I personaly thihnk the car looks a lot better w/o one... it looks sportier. JMO

Thanks,


Mike

The convertible attena sounds like a good idea.

I don't see any problem with the fixed antenna. Most of the older classic Vettes have fixed antennas also.

Its a personal preference. I have a power antenna intended for the vert and plan to install as soon as I get my baby this week!

Not sure if I need the harness or just install some wires for power to it from the radio switch...need to do some more checking as soon as I get my baby this week!

Whoopee!!!

I don't mind the fix mast antenna. It is a pain when you cover the car.

Yes, but they are eaisly removed. I have not tried to use the radio w/o it, may give it a go to see if I get any stations, use the CD mostly anyway.

You know that antenna is a funny thing I don't really notice it that much, And even then it is not really offensive to me.

It's very peculiur (sp?) how chevy does seem to OMIT the antenna from some of their brochure pictures of the Z. hmmmmmm.

I installed a power antenna on my 1995 Z-28. It came off of a Trans Am of the same year. Costs about 98 bux from the GM dealer. You need to make four connections total:
1) 12volts constant
2) ground
3) signal from Delco radio (must identify exact pin)
4) RF connection
Good Luck

I punched a very small hole in my cover to allow the antenna to poke through. I used to find it very hard to install my car cover. The paint was so slick that I would put one side on and it would slide off before I could get the other side on. Now I just slip the hole over the antenna first thing and it holds the cover in place. Makes the install much easier. I think I do still have the info from someone who was selling the power antenna, I believe with the install goodies, for around $100 if you are interested.

Hermit,
I thought about doing that. Could not bring myself to cut my cover. So I just remove the antenna.

Could someone who has done the antenna installation post instructions? It appears that this entails taking the rear tire off and going in through the fender liner? I had also heard that the later Z06's had the wiring harness in place for the antenna. Just wondering if this is the case.

I have never done this but, here are some instructions off of another forum that i found.

The Conv. bolts directly into the car with no problems. You need to order the antenna #10285495 ($ 80), the mount backet #10275748 ($14), 2 mount screws #11514297 and the pig-tail #12047782 ($20). Remove the outboard rh tail lignt and remove fixed mast and install power..all fit perfectly. Wiring more complex, using the pig-tail I created a harness to the fuse box accessory plug for the battery (raises and lowers mast) and ground (common) for the input to raise the mast (radio power on relay) I used the accessory ignition (on) and put a rocker switch in the line. With the switch I can control when the mast raises like off for when I use CD changer. When on the antenna raises with the ignition being turned on and lowers when turned off. Works great. Note....the Corvette electrical system is very sensitive to changes and a change in one place can cause a problem elswhere.
