I was also concerned about theft after installing my Firestik. I ended up heating shrink tube over the bottom of the antenna. Certainly not full-proof, but maybe enough of a deterrent.

I was going to share the ATAS antenna between the truck and jeep. Went to take it off and.... It ain't going no where but, no thief is walking away with it either.

I would steer away from thread lock myself. Good job on the heat shrink. a thief may end up twisting your mount all to hell trying to unscrew a lock-tighted antenna

That is one good point. And i noticed that when tight it is almost impossible to remove by hand, so the thief would have to have two right sized tools. I'll look to the heat shrink option.

A good quality "quick dis-connect"; and run the antenna only when you're in the car?

Don't forget to re-tune the antenna after you add the add'l length provided by the quick disco.

If you have to worry about an antenna being stolen...move.

UV Curable Adhesives or simple UV Adhesives (also referred to as Light Curing Adhesives) are single component compounds designed for precision bonding and are widely used in the manufacturing of glassware, optical devices, and medical equipment. These adhesives are preferred for industries where transparency and stability are the primary needs.

Do you cap the open connector when going through the wash? If not water gets in and corrodes the connector and depending on which style it can trickle down to the coax and rust it out.
