Hi Jim,

I have one from Vanagain and another I think possibly from a different vender, maybe BusDepot. but they are functionally the same. I also learned the tricks on installing from Ken Wilford at Vanagain.

The ones I have come with a little key that is sort of like a thin flat head screwdriver. It is needed to pull out the antenna once pushed all the way down. It does have the little bump out from the van but nothing sticks up and it would not get caught on a cover. I put a rubber band around the top of mine so it sticks up just a bit so I can grab it without the key. Best,

Eric Caron
