Roady XT. I've got it installed and running, but I've got a piece left over. It's a tiny black rubber thing about 3/8" on a side. Top slopes/curves down to a sharp edge, and bottom has a slot in it. What the hell is it, and where does it go?


It fits over the antenna cable, at the antenna end, to protect it in car
washes.

Thanks, but I couldn't figure any way to stick it in there that didn't lift the front of the antenna off the roof a little bit. But what the hell - I don't go to car washes anyway. But it does appear that that's where it's supposed to go.
