Do you have a spring on it?Originally Posted by Seanz0rz
I just push the antenna out of the way.
I asked SC4Runner from YT about his cause I wanted my Antenna out of the way (hence why even my stock radio antenna went by by)
And the spring works for him.

I don't know if I am missing something or not, why do you need to move the antenna to open the door?

tail gate curves around and above taillight. it doesnt go straight up like 2nd gens.
garret said it with a pic. ill clarify. the piece of the door above the tail light hits the antenna when it goes up, and if you push the antenna to the side, it will get pinched when the door comes down.

Oh, I get it now. I was picturing it going straight up.

Do Firestick antennas not flex? Only reason I ask is because this Wilson is the only one I've own and it'll bend nearly tip to tip (180degrees)
no the firestik's are hard fiberglass. i have a spring, and all that does is make it hit my rear door.

Gotcha.. I guess I won't be replacing my Wilson with one then! Even tho I was thinking about it.
Someone on the CB forum mentioned having a Everhardt antenna.. which is like my Wilson and bends easily out of the way.
They also said when they did side by side comparison with it.. the Everhardt gave better readings.. and they're cheap. Might want to look into one of those or the Wilson.
