Does the antenna not get in the way of th door closing

No, it can remain inside. If this does not work, the antenna is just a small gauge wire that will fit in the door gap to be outside.

The antenna can stay entirely in the box. My unit is about 100 ft from the house and has worked flawlessly for more than six months through heat and cold here in sw ohio.

The antenna is flexible and can be bent over a little to avoid the door. It should still operate normally.

No it doesn't. Being a piece of flexible wire it can be bent alongside of it or anywhere out of the way of the lid. This is a very handy item and I have been well pleased with its performance.

No. Even one of the low profile usb drives will keep the door from closing completely.

No. The antenna as you see and inside the bottom is threaded with a cable that hangs out a few inches. I used a ten foot piece of 3/4" electrical conduit and some tape.

There is a lip on the edge of the door that allows it to hang from the top end. Its a loose fit, but causes no issues.

There might be a little debris from the other antenna you have replaced that preventing it to retract. You could try to trim it. If it helps. If not you may want to have Toyota delearship take a look inside and fish out what is inside to fully work.

there is a notch at the top (end with stubby antenna). use a small flat screwdriver or fingernail while pushing the cover towards the top from the back of the unit

No. The device lays over the door with spacers that "catch" against the closed door.

The antenna will be fine in wind if you mount it properly. Don't secure it you might have a problem.

I agree with Roger be aware that the screw for the swivel is also used to put tension on the swivel. Between the base and ant. it has notches to lock antenna in desired position.

Yes, if it's in place, it will go off when the door opens from either side.

No, the metal roof blocks all signal. to be effective this antenna needs to be out in the open and above all interference.

It's probably just because of interference. Probably a metal door or other shield like that. Mine works at or more feet.

Shane,It looks like there is a small spring mechanism and a plastic wedge for close assist. The door will not close automatically until about half way open. It is not a smooth closure but it does close.

I agree with the first answer you received including the analogy. You can lessen the tension to the point that it will barely close at all. I can see not reason to have a closure on both sides of the door with the information you provided for having this need.

An update to an earlier answer. It fit just fine and no problems on the installation but its almost a year now and seems that the antenna makes a lot of noise on the last part of going up or down, almost like its binding up. I will check this weekend to see if somehow it got bent or twisted, otherwise no issues on the fit.

I move the antenna from one vehicle to another, also the radio. I open the door and let the door close on it. you have to be careful, on the new vehicles the door closes tighter. damaging the coax cable. Hope this helps.

It does not hang over the cabinet door so the door is able to shut w/o interference.
