Stolen Antenna
Hey all, last night my 350Z's radio antenna was stolen (WHY?). i was so disappointed because i live in a gated community and apparently a freaking $10 antenna isn't safe there. I ordered a new one off of eBay, which should be in the mail shorty; however, i noticed i was also missing the antenna base/cover. It is basically a piece of plastic that embodies the base of the antenna like a mounting unit of some sort that attaches the antenna to the car itself. I can't find any online and i'm thinking its because i don't know what the part is called. I included a pic to show what part i'm talking about and if someone could please identify it or tell me where i can find one i would be very grateful ! Thank you.

This is what you need!

You might need to buy that nut which, in the illustration, sits above the base part

I believe their $40 retail which is why it was stolen. The Murano or one of those shorty's should fit. The Honda version has a wider base. You could also try Ford's version which looks like our but half the size. I've test fitted the Infinity FX I think it was and it fit fine. I think I have a pic on my phone. I did not test fit the Ford antenna. The Infinity Roadster antenna does not fit as the stud is different. It may work for 370's, not sure.

Wow, what a A$$ hole, stealing an antenna? At least it wasn't your wheels , and car left on bricks like what happened to my friends Evo. None the less, Sucks . Be on the lookout next few days, if he's a dumb thief(s) he will probably be around the area again.

It's so ridiculous lately. We've had a bunch of robberies around here lately. Tennants at my grandma's condo didn't have any water because someone stole the copper pipes. We had a break-in at my house, but we have an alarm and so it went off as soon as they tried to get through the back door. All over there's been sirens going off, and when I went to get Little Caeser's pizza today, it was closed and all the employees were standing outside because a robbery. What is this world coming to? -_-

I had fallen victim to the same fate 3 years ago...sucks. Are they that broke that they can't buy a new one? Sorry a$$ people... There was another Z owner in my complex whom I suspected but could never prove it to be him since I don't pay attention to missing antennas on other Zs.

Or maybe it was just a hater kid who wishes he had a Z. I swear some people are just stupid. Im up for a new antenna too becuase mines has been getting eaten up by the sun and its tearing. maybe after hearing this i will just leave it on since it still works fine.

That sucks. Sorry to hear! The Dodge Avenger antenna is what I have, sits flush to the base, is $6, and is less than half the size of the stock Z antenna. Reception is spot-on as well.

I know it's so pathetic. I think you may be right about it being another Z owner some of my buddies said the same thing too. There are like 3 other Zs in my community now I wish I would have paid attention to who may have had a missing antenna
