Having the antenna on the roof?
I've seen a few people respond negatively to it. What's the deal?

Thank you. I guess I just don't understand it. I have the same antenna as the stock antenna on the Maverick on my 2012 Ford focus and I've never once questioned or wished for something different.Nothing is wrong with it. Most people would just prefer the short shark fin style antenna without the mast poking up from it. That’s what’s getting all the hate.
That was my next question, what do they want instead. IMO, it's better than something on the hoodI don’t mind it either. Better than the whip sticking up from the fender! But some do.
That's a good point about longer items.I don't mind the anesthetic, but I can see it getting in the way when carrying long items on a rack. A liw profile fin like many cars now have would be better.
BTW, I have not complained about it on this forum. I don't get the point of all the complaining. Buy the Mav or don't. I don't need to hear about all your angst.
The op asks "why all the hatin'?"That's a good point about longer items.
I'm not sure I understand your "BTW..." Comment. Care to elaborate?
I gotcha. I thought that the previous comment was directed at me somehow and was trying to figure that out.The op asks "why all the hatin'?"
I was just pointing out that while I do see a negative to the design, I had not previously complained about it. There is a lot of pointless complaining on this forum.
And they're forgetting that you can just unscrew the mast antenna.Nothing is wrong with it. Most people would just prefer the short shark fin style antenna without the mast poking up from it. That’s what’s getting all the hate.
Agree…..was disappointed to not get the shark fin.Nothing is wrong with it. Most people would just prefer the short shark fin style antenna without the mast poking up from it. That’s what’s getting all the hate.
