    I just bought the 13' euro model from antenna x and went to try to put it on and have no clue how to take the old one off, I searched the forums but couldn't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Chrome don't get you home
    Lefty loosy, righty tight, nothing else to do?

    Unscrew the stock one, screw in the euro version, done?

    I used a little lock tite on the male threads of the euro version just to make it a little harder for someone to unscrew it by hand

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Nice!

    Might have to place an order. My stock antenna hits the garage door.
