Pics would be helpful ;)
Thanks!

Sorry I did not take any pics. I was in a hurry to get this done. If you are concerned with the signal, rest assured that is not an issue. I am actually picking up more radio stations (and much further away) than with the electric antenna. Just not having to deal with that thing is also a blessing. The whip antenna is longer than the original auto/electric antennas on the LTD of the 3rd gen T4R.
If you buy the two parts mentioned in the original post, it is easy. The fixed antenna unit comes with a small plastic cap screwed in. Remove it and thread in the whip antenna. The whip antenna even comes with a little "wrench" to tighten it on. So glad I did this.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
(Just be careful not to snap off the old antenna wire when pulling it out.....like I did....made it much more frustrating to wire in the new cable!)
