Just received the Perrin shorty...as shown in Bat's posts....
the reception with this antenna definitely deteriorates
FYI.........my PMP shorty had perfect reception.

I think everyone that's posting "great reception" either are fortunate to live in an area with exceptional signal strength, don't listen to weaker stations, or have convinced themselves that reception is acceptable because it "looks good".

AM frequency requires a long antenna, FM doesnt matter so much. On my car, I actually had the FM antenna wire grounded to the car.. I picked up ALL stations with no problems. As for AM, forget it.. no reception at all. But, who listens to AM anyway? 
Actually, who listens to the radio? Thats all ancient history for me.. hehe besides, the McLaren F1 doesnt have a radio either!

You will have to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and get small o-ring or flat/thin rubber washer. OD is 5/16" or 11/32". I say "or" because it depends on how you think it looks and the thickness of the o-ring.

bringing it way back.. ha
Anyway I live in St. Louis, MO i've never been in a single car where I couldn't pick up my 6 fav. stations, on the Z I can't pick up a single one for long enough to listen to a song. Will none of the above listed "fixes" fix my problem???
Thanks in advance..

Anybody got a picture of this antenna on a Z?
I am thinking of buying this one.
Is it shorter than the S2000 Antenna and flexable just like the S2000 Antenna as well?

The Mangowalk 2.4" antenna pictured above just arrived today.
It does looks nice on the Z and I like it, but the only problem is that radio reception SUCKS big time.
It's made out of metal, aluminium I think, so it's not flexible at all and the finish is painted black with a little gloss.
Since I do listen to the radio on a daily basis, I am changing back to the OEM flexible antenna for much better reception.
Here are some pictures I just took.
If anyone is interested, I can sell it for $10 USD shipped, it's basically brand new. I only used it once on the way back from work to try the reception.
