Shortening the antenna "tail"

The antenna module is supplied with a 6 inch tail. For vehicles with flat roofs (SUVs, Mini-vans) and for convertibles, it is possible to shorten the tail by up to 2 inches.

NOTE: For vehicles with a sloping roof, or if the module is mounted on the trunk of a convertible, the tail should not be shortened!

After the precise length of the tail has been determined, the adhesive strip may be cut to length and applied to the antenna tail.

Removing the antenna

The antenna module may be removed, using a nylon cord (e.g. fishing line) to cut through the adhesive pad between the antenna module and the vehicle. Work from the front to the tail in a side-to-side cutting motion. Any remaining adhesive may be removed with an appropriate cleaner.
