Antenna replacement?
At this time my antenna works. Seems to me with later technology a better antenna arrangement for the C4 could be put in. Has anyone done this? Maybe a whip type antenna, or something to run along the car, and put a cap in the old antenna hole? Since the car is fiberglass, it seems an antenna running along a body panel would still work?
Just curious if this has been done.

hey dale best thing to do after you upgrade radio/cd or not if you have a cd player is put a cutoff switch in so if you just listen to cds your mast does not entend cuts down on wear/tear

Not a bad idea, but I'd like to get rid of the motor altogether. Simpler is better.

As for options, I have seen some, but after fiddling with them over the years, a good ole mast still seems to work best. Especially in remote areas where the signals are weak and few and far between.
As long as it is working, I would not mess with it... More than likely, the mast will break internally, and that's a 15.00 fix.

Oh, so you weren't jerking my chain? (Which is ok, I can take a joke).
I went to the car audio place, and they have an antenna you can run up one of the pillars and across the windshield. It's a simple antenna like an FM antenna for your home receiver. I'd think you could position it in a few places. Also, since the car is fiberglass, I think you could place it somewhere within the body and it would work just fine.
