Hey Tex,

I have the 9" one of these:

Really good reception, AND IT'S BLING ;)

I didn't buy it on e-Bay though, so I can't comment on this seller? I'll try to find where I got mine and post L8R ;)

I don't see how hard it could be to move the antenna to it's original 03 position. Best spot for it.

That's one of the first things I'm going to do when I trade in for the H2 Alpha.;)

Can't you set the limit switch nearest the garage door motor a little further back to get the door to open fully? I had the same problem and just fixed the door.

I did, changed the limit switch, as well as playing around with the door. I have about 3" to clear the door, but that antenna still hits. Its not the end of the world, but I would also like to have a bit more bling....call me crazy:cool:

Actuallly I've got it down to a science now....I always back in...then try to get the right side as close to the wall as possible. (got to love the foldable mirrors) then I have plenty of room to get in and out. :eek:

Neighbors couldn't believe it when they would first see me backing that truck in.:eek:

...find a good contractor and enlarge your garage! :D (We had to widen and raise the door height to get my truck in comfortably!)
