It might just be my imagination, but I always felt they cut down on the reception a little.

Not enough that I couldn't put up with it, but it did seem to effect it to me.

I have used about 10 of these things. the average time they stayed on the antenna had to be about 42 seconds. I have tried taping them, wire ties and everthing imaginable. I just quite using them.

They seem to fit the garmin better, and it has a nylon sleeve that the attena goes through, so I slid the reflective cover down through it, then put the zip tie on it, I could n't pul it off!!!
