    yo Neon, i just got mine today. Only problem i had is that little ball on the end popped off. I just glued it back. FYI on the antenna, the wire that runs through it is what pushed the ball off. It pushed up when i put on the adapter threads. Also, i noticed on your picture. You can make the bottom more flush to the base if you pull down the wide part. It moves down.

    the ball is just a cosmetic cover. There is a stiff wire that runs through the length of the antenna. I just had to trim off a little so the ball would sit snug.
