    Is this the rear mounted one or the A-pillar antenna?

  3. Rear mount. Sorry about the delay - my ISP's news service was
    down yesterday.

    Now wouldn't it be a shame if your kid accidentally let loose of the
    aluminum ball bat into the windshield that is just like the stock ones on
    264 with the antenna in the glass??? :-}

  5. these are hard to find, the one on my junker '88 broke back in '94 i've
    rigged it several times with portable radio antenna. I just got my "new" '89
    240 and the previous owner had stuck one of those rubber antenna on it, I
    thought i could just go to the auto parts store and get an antenna and put it
    on real easy, wrong...first of all the hole is too small, so instead of
    butchering the car for a four dollar antenna, i made it work by removing the
    little toggle things from the new antenna, remove the little washer with the
    teeth from the volvo antenna,slide it onto the new cheapo ant. to rest where
    the toggle things were, now insert ant. up through the trunk, now you have to
    use the outside plastic mount from the volvo ant.but first you have to knock
    the metal threaded part out, and use the nut from the new one to secure it. my
    mount was brittle so it cracked a little so i used a little silicone adhesive
    on it,and put a little around the hole, looks better than the one that was one
    there and works better. i just wanted radio reception, so at that point i
    didn't care. sorry so long a post.

    They're not hard to find at all, Volvo stocks them. They're not cheap, but
    if you want a radio antenna the OEM part is the way to go. They turn up on
    ebay occasionally too.
