If you remember way back there was even a commercial on TV that Chrysler had stating how much trouble they go thru to keep noises down, part of that ad was discussing the antenna. Not sure about the dot thing cause I am not a truck dealer. And without telling me the model and year I cant look it up to give you an answer. But it could be part of a deicer or just for protection from the sun. Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

QUESTION ABOUT ANTENNA
my assumption on the spiral was that it had somthing to do with your remote
to unlock the doors. Now the dots I just figured they were an instant deicer. See I read a message in the chevy group and someone had replied but I didnt think that it was true.

QUESTION ABOUT ANTENNA
The black dots or Dot Matrix are sun protection. The cost of the vinyl
ply with the tinting on the edge has been slowly phased out as a cost saving measure. Almost all new vehicles sold have the winshield edges painted to hide the sealer. With less trim and edges even exposed like the Jeep liberty it is a cheap way to cover things up. Now some Makers have automatic de-icers but this is an expensive option. And damn hard to make. Also if there are only a couple of dots they may be robot locating points for installation. Rick |
