After admiring Shifty's new paint job on his MKV, I noticed he also installed a "stubby" antenna. Since I'm not a fan of the superlong OEM antenna, I thought I'd give it a try.

Here's a little step by step with a mod that costs less than $29!

After seeing how much shorter the Hummer H2 antenna is, it does require a little modification...

Radio reception doesn't really seem to be affected that much. Then again, most probably listen to CDs or MP3s.

Also, this antenna is from a 2003 H2 (roof mounted, passenger side of car). After 2003, they went to a fender mounted antenna (about 4 feet long).

Thats looks nice. I've seen a shortened antenna on my friends Mk4 and it got me thinking how i could go abouts doing that. Thanks for this thread.

Most of the short stubby antennas will fit this car. I think the screw size is the same across the board with most manufacturers.

Shorty Antenna would be cheaper. I think they are like 20$. A hummer part, man that is some ORIGINAL thinking. should have gotten the CHROME one. LOL.
