How does that cap (or ball actually) come off? I looked at the version we sell, and I was actually looking at the "bottom" part of it to see if it

it's attached, cut it, and silver solder it back together.
My 03 vert has that dam power antenna I hate those things, why couldn't they just use the Z type antenna.
I may remove it someday.
The good news about the retractable/vert antenna is that some aftermarket NAV headunits allow you to program the antenna so that it only goes up when you have the radio on. If you're playing CDs or you have your IPOD connected, the antenna stays down.

Marc,
I just received the one I bought and put it on.
I can't tell one iota of difference in them, from the screw attachment to the tip. Just shorter
I look for the thread that has them for sale. I paid 13.40 delivered. IIRC.
