Hey gang!
       I thought I would send a warning to anyone wanting to save a little 
money on a power antenna for their Alfa. The guy's ads appear frequently on 
Ebay and infer that the antenna will fit an Alfa (amongst many other cars) 
The antennas are nothing but generic power antennas available at your local 
auto parts store for $19.99 - $29.99. When you leave negative feedback after 
paying $50.00+ for something that doesn't fit he responds by saying you need 
professional help. The message below is from another unhappy customer. I will 
be totally honest here... Dickenns doesn't specifically say the antenna will 
fit an Alfa but the fact that he advertises them under the Alfa banner and 
then asks what model car you have certainly infers that the part will fit 
that particular car. IT DOESN'T! They are nothing but generic antennas. LET 
THE BUYER BEWARE!

Greetings,
I see you bought an antenna from dickenns too. I bought one he said would fit 
my Acura Legend (it didn't), but like you I discovered he is selling 
generics. His constant reply is "Person needed professional help." I 
encourage you to file formal complaint thru eBay's Safe Harbor resources just 
as I did. Its hard to believe more people posted negative feedback for his 
misleading ads.
Good luck,
Brad Baker
