Hmmm - it looks like the economy is having it's effect. I checked both web sites mentioned on this thread - carcessory.com and truckexpressions.com, and it looks like they're both either gone, or on their way out. carcessory.com has no web page any more, and truckexpressions.com says "closed, but still processing orders". I assume that means they're not taking new orders.

Is there any other supplier (even on ebay) who has been good to deal with and who has had quality components?

Thanks!

The site works fine for me. Did you spell it wrong? Carccessory.com

I stand corrected...Thanks, Jeff - carccessory.com does seem to work just fine!

That makes things easier...

Glad it's working for you. I've ordered several antennas from them and they always been a reputable vendor.

What's the best way (tool) to remove the stock antenna to screw on the stubby?
I've ordered the one from Carccessory.com, should be in tomorrow.

Don't know - I got my stubby over the weekend, and used a wrench cushioned with a work glove I had - and it still put two small marks on the original antenna, from the force/pressure of the wrench.

Learned two things - the original antenna is on there tightly, and that the metal/finish isn't very durable.

Good luck!

(FWIW, the stubby I got, "J" series, seems to work fine, even when not extended!)

I used a spanner wrench. The name is kind of generic, but they look like a big set of tweezers. The ends fit into the notches in the antenna.

You did what I had in mind.......and that's what I was afraid of.

Just ordered from: O - Short Stubby Antenna - Color: Black $9.99 + $3.00 ground shipping.

Pricing all looks pretty equal between vendors, but this web site said that they had the largest source of "Solstice" ready antenna. Looked like about a dozen types and colors available for the Sol.

Thanks to MikePhDPE for the great lead on source
