Replying to: wa98strat (Sep 13, 2006 6:46 pm) Was it hard to install? Actually RPM is $10 more, but free shipping, Visual Garage costs $12 shipping so RPM is cheaper by $2. However, Visual Garage offers group discounts for 5+ orders. Anyone interested in putting a group buy together? The way I've seen it work on other forums is that you get some code, the more people use the code, the more discount you get - usually time limited. David

I can not believe that others are having the same issue, I thought I was all alone!! Not knowing about other antenna options i got a piece of picture hanging wire and wrapped it around the tip of the antenna and attached the other end to the base of the antenna, I adjusted the tension a little bit and now have an antenna that clears the door, total cost less than $1.00 and 5 min of my time. I know this may not be a long term solution but it has worked just fine for the last 3 months. zoom 500. |

Replying to: kw_da (Sep 13, 2006 8:22 pm) Tip. read the instructions. They go through a dry fit process with masking tape to make your alignment marks. It helps alot. Shipping from RPM is not free (for me at least, I'm in Canada) so it maked no sense to order a part that was made in canada from a US supplier! |

Replying to: wa98strat (Sep 19, 2006 1:55 pm)  I agree however removing the antenna every time we pulled the car in to the garage was not going to work and leaving it on by mistake would have cost us. Since I was not aware of the web sites that sell aftermarket antenna's I was stuck with my own solution. Now all I need to do is come up with the $60.00 bucks to make the switch.

I bought my new Mazda 5 this week! All in all, this is just the type of vehicle that I have been wanting to find for the last 3 yrs or so, and this 5 is just the one I wanted! I have been wanting a vehicle with cargo space at least 5 feet long to hold my craft show supplies, yet something that isn't as big and bulky as a minivan and with better mileage. After driving the 5 home and parking in my garage, with plenty of room in there around all 4 sides (--and the top: no antenna problems), I cheered at making such a good choice. I think I’m going to enjoy this car for a quite a long time! The details: the 5 I decided on is a 2006 Cardinal Red Touring Automatic (just about the last new red automatic left in California). I got it with carpets as well as the all-weather floor mats, bumper guard, cargo cover, cargo net, and wheel locks. Just a couple of days later I bought the windshield shade and ordered the door guards; and I think I will also get the seat covers and am strongly considering the bra. Hopefully I will be successful here in adding one of the first photos taken just minutes after driving this beauty home from the LA area. I appreciate all the information I have gotten on the Mazda 5 forums and look forward more information sharing. Thanks! ">
