Help removing radio antenna

[Mexmarine]

Has anyone removed the radio antenna and covered the hole where it use to be? I’d be grateful if ya’ll would post some pictures to see how it turned out.

Use a washer & a screw.

Very cool Alaskan_TA. I should have been more specific. I just got my car painted and I was trying to fit a cover on it. The cover has no hole for the antenna and I don’t need the antenna ( I have a bluetooth amp in the trunk) I was hoping to get some ideas for that situation. Maybe there’s some kind of chrome circular gadget I could screw on it.

I would definitely check the dimensions first.. They claim they can make any size plug/ cap.

Awesome! This is exactly what I was hoping to find.

Me too. I would leave the antenna on the car whether you use it or not, unscrew the mast if you can, or cut a hole in your cover for the mast. I wouldn't want to plug the hole now with fresh paint and all.

Most people I know just unscrew the mast from the base & store it in the trunk before the cover goes on.

It makes putting the cover on easier with the mast out of the way too.

Just leave it finger tight so there is no need for a wrench.
