Anyone using the antennae in the windshield?
 
How is it? I listened to a friend of mine's stereo in his 78, and he had the antennae in the windshield setup, and it got perfect reception...So, when I get some money, I'm gonna get a new windhsield, and fix the antennae.

switched mine when It got painted, works perfect

I have the factory am/fm hooked to mine and it works as good as any 27 year old radio works. The reception is just fine most of the time.... :cool:

same here..mine worked fine till the 1978 radio crapped out on me

I still use mine. Works good. Of course I never listen to the radio anyway. A MP3 player has a way of killing radio, you know?

working fine here

TIMSPEED 06-25-2004 08:30 PM

Nice! I think what happened to mine, is it broke right at the base, that's why it never worked...does the new winshield come with a wire that I just plug into the radio, or....?

SanitysBane 06-25-2004 08:30 PM

mine works fine with my pioneer head unit

gldevall 06-25-2004 08:32 PM

Mine works great.

My old Sony deck it was only ok - my new Pioneer it works great. Like Mike said, my new MP3 deck kinda makes the radio obsolete.

Mine works fine in my '76.

I put a antenna amplifier on mine and I can pull in stations I cannot get on any of my other cars. Highly recommend keeping it. The hew windshield will come with the stud which the wire bolts to.

Hmm..where would I get a new wire at? I dunno where mine is broken, so I may have to get a new wire and windshield...

i never had any problems out of any of mine either.

Mine has always worked rather well, it's just our weak, crappy radio stations here. Once I get close enough to Lubbock, Texas to get thier stations, it comes through as clear as a bell.

Mine in my 85 is hooked to a pioneer cd player and before that was on a knob job pioneer tape deck both had really good reception But ive seen others that wasnt worth a flip

I bet them connections get loose or corroded over the years on certain trucks.
