I have a 1996 Z3 1.9L Roadster....how does this stubby antenna work with the antenna seal grommet? It doesn't look like the two would work together?

Robert, I used this antenna for my Z4 BMW. There was only one seal grommet that fit. Sorry that I can not help further.

It works very well you have to use the one that fits best for your Z3. I.HAVE A Z4 2005 and used the one that I found that fit. I'm very happy with the look and donot have to remove it. When going through car wash.

Sorry hit send before complete You have to cut a hole in the cover for the antenna but they supply a round reinforcement piece of material that is suppose to be ironed onto the cover. Mine is not sticking so I'm looking for an alternate way to keep it attached

I bought mine as a replacement for the broken antenna whip on my 2011 Buick Enclave. It was the correct part for my application, the whip having male threads and the rooftop antenna base having female threads. It would seem that this other customer purchase the wrong part for his application.

gary, what is your midland weather radio model name/number? i can tell you this is a generic universal antenna that fits most radios, i'm using it on my sony radio, diameter is 0.2 inches which is approximately 5 millimeters and is not threaded by rather mounted with a screw at the base, i don't know the antenna specifications of midland but it's my guess that this antenna will work on your radio

Yes but you want to use a shorter cargo box. I have a Thule, but it is long and skinny. It will push the antenna down at the back, but seems to survive. However when my wife forgot she opened the hatch and it sheered off the wiper fluid sprayer. So if you haven't already got a box then get a stubby one.

I purchased it for my 98 Z3. Fit perfectly. Would contact seller if I were you.

Hi RAS: It's been over a year since I installed mine, but I vaguely remember a similar concern. As I remember, I also expected a tight fit like a sleeve over the antenna fitting, but then I realized that the U-bolts are what really holds the two parts together (via the bracket, which is firmly attached to the antenna). Just don't overtighten them (you'll start to see the pipe collapsing).

Yep, fits perfect! I got it on mine now. I live just south of Nashville in middle Tennessee with lots off hills, valleys, trees, tall and short buildings, about any possible geography, etc and I can not notice any lost reception whatsoever! Also, I have seen some questions as to how much the antenna will flex and if it hits the side of the jeep and I can testify that I have had the 2015 Rubi up to and over 100 mph (not recommended but I had to try out the new Gibson dual cat back exhaust pipes on the interstate) and still not enough flex in the antenna to touch the body of the jeep. I promise you will not have any issues with this antenna as long as you get both ends tight!! Yep, fits perfect! I got it on mine now.

Sorry, not sure about that one. It actually didn't work well for me. The antenna would make a grinding sound when it was fully extended. I ended up buying an OEM antenna from another dealer. I would recommend you use only an OEM( Original Equipment manufacturer) part and not after market.

I order this part as my Z3 was listed. The problem is my car has round pins in the connector and the part comes with flat pins.

I actually returned this one for that reason and got the one for the RT. I will be adding a Corbin Trunkbox soon which will take up some of the slack at the rear but it is working just fine with the antenna now.

The antenna comes with a EDGE MOUNT / LIP MOUNT which is locked in place with two set screws. THIS IS NOT A MAGNETIC MOUNT. It is made to go on the edge of your trunk lid.

I have one for my 2000 BMW Z3 and it works great. No additional adaptors are needed. All you have to do is uncover the connector under the hood, insert the resetting tool, and follow the instructions.

I use this one with my Bao Feng UV5+ as my in-car mobile rig - does great - I get regular 9x9 signal reports. It has a female SMA connector. Does a great job. Only downside was the packaging - the box they shipped it in shifted a little and the short antenna was bent - but I just bent it back with no ill effects.

If you use a pen or screwdriver to widen the hole and wet the hole it will "screw" onto the antenna. I use it that way on my car.

I have a magnetic mount antenna and had trouble tuning this with the Midland. This is, I'm told, due to the radio possibly not be grounded well enough. A rep from K40 suggested connecting a wire to a metal part of the vehicle and the PL256 adaptor. I havnt tried this. Thinking of getting a different antenna that connects to the vehicle, in order to get a better ground.

Yes. I found it MUCH better than the stock antenna AND the 701 models! It's a bit long from some and the tip popped off one and is lost, but that is it.
