Just for everyones information - I am the one who installed the short one and I was unhappy at first when it didn't fit the base correctly but it isn't a factory part so I made it look factory, the grommet was an automotive part but it really doesn't matter now the antenna looks like it came on the car now and I am happy. Sometimes to MOD a car you have to MOD the MOD.
