Subaru Outback Touring roof rail antennae clamp

thingiverse

I'm one of those guys who walks around parking lots with key fob waving high in the air, desperately trying to locate his car. Now that I drive a black Outback, the problem is significantly worse... The number of black SUVs out there is staggering. All you people tapping your horns for a cheap laugh, yeah, I really hate you... However, over the years I've found that an antenna topper is incredibly helpful in locating my car. My Outback has a shark fin antenna though! Doh! Here's my first attempt to rectify the situation. Hardware-wise, I used: M3 x 40mm 2x M3 x 30mm 3x nylocks 2 washers 1 M5 T-slot nut - pressed sheet metal kind (15mm x 10mm) Antenna mast with a 5mm thread. Got mine on AliExpress for $2 shipped. I'm testing out PETG to see how it does in Chicago heat. So far, it's been great in 90+F weather. This might be something that ultimately needs to be cut out on my CNC, but you don't know until you try.
