It installed, went down fine but does not go up all the way. Tried a few times per the instructions

Sounds to me like you may not have removed all the old pieces from the antenna before installing the new one. That is one of the reasons something like that can happen. Are you sure you removed everything first? If yes, then your gear may be missing teeth.

I had the same problem. You can't really leave it up because the carwashes tear it up. I had to order a new one. This time I'm going to try cutting off about 4 inches of the tail.

As most others, UP is probably the true way to install, but my contractor said it could face downward! I really like it!

It should go up and down without too much effort. Did you put the lever correct way?

I found that although I lifted it slightly I had to reach under and help the rear bracket to fold inwards. No big problem for me - maybe just the way that I had installed it - although I thought that I had done that correctly.

Yes it does.... It doesn't go exactly flat tho it has a slight decline or incline I just use it on the slight decline

Mine worked fine, use a allen wrench to adjust the "up-down" and it worked great!If that don't do it you may need to send it back.

I had problems getting mine to slide up. It was a struggle. Once I got it opened, it did click.

It doesn't move up or down, but my antenna came with a small tuning tool. It also came with instructions how to do it. You may still want/need to use an SWR meter for best results.

I adjusted mine down to 150 out and 130 in. Don't know if it will go lower.

It works find pointing vertically downward. That is exactly how mine is positioned. And, it is pretty easy to install.

Be sure the 800 end is lined up right. There is a notch that lines up on the bottom side. I had trouble at first because I didn't notice this, but it does go in okay once it is lined up correctly. It might have been a bit tight, at first, but it goes in easily now.

Mine doesn't do that. It gradually rises or falls according to what the ppm is. Sounds like you have a defective unit.

Raise it all the way up, and then it will release and allow you to lower it.. Hope this helps �

I raised mine about half way to install, thdn pushed them right back down again. It might depend on what vehicle you are driving though. (Hyundai-Ruscon)

No, you're set. Make sure you are satisfied with the height before completing install. The lower the better.

Yes it can. My installation is not straight up and down, it was a bit diagonal but it worked.

yes, I looped mine down and back up again. Its been fine since I installed it a couple years ago. I read it in the directions somewhere to do it that way.
