I was washing the truck the other day and noticed that the antenna mount is oxidizing or lightening up. I tried to use some dressing, but that just attracted dirt. I taped off around the mount and used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (those work great on the boat interior), but that didn't touch it.

What are you guys using to keep it black?

 

You can always take it off and paint it...

It's not as greasy as all the other products on the market.

Just take it off get some of that new Krylon for plastic you will be rockin. I painted the steps on my 88 box on my 72 chevy pickup, everyone thinks I bought new ones, that paint in nice stuff and holds up. Or make the dealer replace it, stil under warranty?

 

Mines doing the same thing, i dont think the warranty is going to cover the antenna mount getting too much sun

 

Why didn't they just eliminate the antenna mounted to the fender and install it in the cowling near windshield, eliminating the stupid looking mount. Or maybe go to the windshield and eliminate the aerial antenna altogether. If they say it costs too much, then eliminate that stupid ram on the windshield header.

 

its doing the same thing on my truck. i took it to the dealership and it is under warranty so they are going to fix it and if the dealership is acting up about fixing it then the part is only like 5 bucks

 

I second. Use 303 aerospace protectant on all plastics, rubber, seals. actually beads water for weeks. It's water based, no petro distillates. Keeps clear plastics clear. It leaves behind UV protection without the greasy mess!
