Replying to: vg33e power (Oct 11, 2008 1:37 pm) Are the middle seat belts in their clips -- on the pillars just behind their seat backs? Replies to this message: vg33e power (Oct 13, 2008 8:42 am) 5_more (Oct 13, 2008 3:25 pm)

Replying to: dan5678 (Oct 10, 2008 3:45 pm) Regarding the antenna, start at the top of this thread: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4097508#post4097508 Or, look here: http://www.therpmstore.com/product_info.php?cPath=103&products_id=296 I don't know how well it works, but it stands to reason that reception will not be quite as good as the original.

Replying to: 5_more (Oct 11, 2008 6:14 pm) I WORK FOR AN AUTO GROUP IN WHICH WE CARRY CHRYRLER PRODUCTS. WHEN I FIRST GOT MY MZ5 I ALSO THOUGHT THE OEM ANTENNA WAS A BIT LONG AND R/C, GOOFY LOOKING. SO I TESTED AN ANTENNA FROM A 2009 DODGE JOURNEY HERE IN OUR LOT, WHICH HAS A STUBBIE 6" LONG THING AND TO MY SURPRISE IT SCREWED IN PERFECTLY AND EVEN PERFECTLY ALIGNED AT THE BASE, IT SEEMED LIKE THIS DODGE ANTENNA WAS SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR OUR MZ5s. ANYWAY I PICKED ONE UP FROM OUR PARTS DEPARTMENT AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. IT LOOKS WAY BETTER AND SPORTY, PLUS IT IS STILL AN RDS ANTENNA (ADDITIONAL WIRE THAT TWIST AROUND THE MAST) SO YOU WILL NOT LOOSE ANY RECEPTION QUALITY.TOTAL COST $5.94 INCLUDING TAX. YES YOU HEARD RIGHT $5.94 INCLUDING TAX. I WAS AWED WHEN I HEARD THE PRICE. BEST $6 EVER SPENT ON A MOD. FOR MY MZ5. IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED THE PART NUMBER FOR THIS ANTENNA WHICH YOU CAN PICK UP AT ANY LOCAL CHRYSLER, JEEP, DODGE DEALERSHIP IS: 5064710-AA DON'T LET THE STEALERSHIP GET YOU CHRYSLER'S MSRP IS ONLY $5.50 Replies to this message: jnsacj (Nov 05, 2008 7:13 am) vg33e power (Nov 05, 2008 7:33 am) vg33e power (Nov 05, 2008 10:47 am) and 2 more... jnsacj (Nov 06, 2008 7:49 am) dan5678 (Jan 15, 2009 4:38 pm) vg33e power (Jan 15, 2009 4:45 pm)

Replying to: 5_more (Oct 11, 2008 6:02 pm) ITS DEFINATELY NOT THE SEAT BELTS, BECAUSE I CAN HEAR IT RIGHT AT THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE, SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING LOOSE BEHIND THE DOOR TRIM PANEL PERHAPS A LINK ROD?? Replies to this message: 5_more (Oct 13, 2008 3:25 pm)
#186 of 226 antenna and rattle by 5_more Oct 13, 2008 (3:25 pm)
Replying to: vg33e power (Oct 13, 2008 8:42 am) Nice suggestion for the antenna. So far, the only thing that's rattled for me is the seat belts. Let the rest of us know what you find.

Replying to: vg33e power (Oct 13, 2008 6:50 am) vg33e power, Thank you so much for the idea of replacing your horrible OEM antenna on your Mazda 5 with the Dodge Journey antenna. I just picked mine up today and it works perfectly!! I paid $5.83 with tax and it looks soooo much better! Great work!

Replying to: vg33e power (Nov 05, 2008 10:47 am) Hey- I did the swap too, and so pleased that it works. The old one kept hitting the garage door. This one fits perfectly on the old mount - THANK YOU! $8.20 CDN with tx. Replies to this message: vg33e power (Nov 05, 2008 3:23 pm)
