Does your cowl have an indent or space where the antenna rubber connection plug lines up? I just got mine back from the powdercoaters and it won't lie flat. I don't think it is warped or bent and looks straight. There is a definite 'hump' where the rubber antenna connection boot is.
If you have a winshield antenna.......

Sorry Vader I meant the cowl metal molding. I drilled the 3 holes in the cowl no problem, but my issue is when I put the metal cowl molding back on it is not flush anymore with the windshield because of the rubber antenna connector. I was wondering if cars originally equipped with the windshield antenna had a space or indent for the connector.
Thank you GNVAIR. I’m glad to know I’m not crazy.
On a side note the windshield antenna works real well when you are near a City, not so great in a rural setting. You have to order a windshield for a 1981-1984 Regal, as of 1985 they don’t show a windshield with an antenna available.

I had a 78 Malibu and an 86 C10 with the windshield antenna and they both worked extremely well. If you have looked at new vehicles you will find that many manufacturers have copied the technology and have the antennas in the rear window or stationary rear side glass. I did some research and found the windshield is the same on all the A/G body 2 doors from 78-88 so any 78-83 or 84 with the antenna will work.
