You, sir, have the most impressive stubby ever, if what you state is true. I'll even suggest a new word for your smart-based stubby activity:

fortwonication.

Rattle?

I just picked up the Avenger antenna from my local Dodge dealer. I installed it and it looks great, but does anyone else's make a sort of buzz/rattle when you tap it with your finger? It sounds like the spring inside is rattling, and it shouldn't be an issue unless it starts to make noise while I drive (haven't tested it yet). Otherwise, you can't beat $5.50 + tax.

WOW, hadn't even noticed that. mine DOES rattle when you tap it with your finger, BUT I've had mine on there for some time and have never heard any noise out of it while driving, either with the windows up or down.

Interesting though......

Glad mine isn't defective and that the rattle doesn't cause a problem while driving. Would have been a waste of $5.00!

No answer. No wonder that dealer is tanking; that, and the fact that all of their cars resemble my rear end.
Follow up: Is this dealer still in existence after the 789 cuts by Chrysler? Just curious.....

Rattle inside is a stiff plastic core rod with heavy wire coils. Also the rubber exterior is only connected to the insides at the base.
