Help: It fits my sidemount boom so tightly that I cannot get it off the boom. What should I do?

One thing you can try is to heat up it and unscrew. If it doesn't work, wrap it with something to protect the threads and use a pair of pliers to unscrew. If top of the adapter is high enough than 3/8 screw, use a kind of blade to use it as screw driver, using two notches. I hope this would be a help.

Use a small flat head screw driver and when you completely unscrew the screw grab the top edge of the cover and gently pull, it will pop off.

Jeff, I'm not an antenna engineer so really can't answer but would suggest try both wires to the single screw just to see what happens. Next step would be to disconnect the telescoping antenna and try one lead to that and one to the screw connection. It seems there should be available a good boombox equivalent to the mini-stereo systems of yesterday, let me know if you find one. Cliff Gollus

Hmmm... it's looks like a permanent friction fit. I tried to lightly pull it apart, but it doesn't seem to want to do that. If this thing popped open, you should probably try to glue it back together, unless it's still returnable. Note that the head unit is adjustable , as a sort of cheap ratchet. You will probably want to make sure that is still functional.

You have to loosen the 678 all the way, it is a tight fit, but it will go on. I think there might be an adapter inside, take it out.

I had lots of trouble too, and the manufacturer was no help. I posted a question here on amazon and got a great reply. I decided to make a little video, which I hope helps! http://blogofott.blogspot.com/2013/09/wideand-tight.html?m=1

Try spraying the circumference of the ring with a little dry silicone lube. It will loosen up some with use. It's weird that it fits great in the stored position. I didn't mess with it other than that. Not bad at all now.

Mine had a hard time sticking with just an iPhone mount. I bought some double sided adhesive and it works perfectly now. Just might be harder to get off though.

mine is really loose and just pulls apart. They look like they're supposed to be twisted together but mine i just push the wide angle off with my thumb. Sorry, can't be of much help, but try pushing it!

If you've got space i don't see why not. try affixing it with double sided mounting tape for a firm fit. Here's hoping!

Mine slipped on and held. You should be able to buy a adaptor if it is loose. You should be able to find kits to fit. Good luck.

Mine is in so tight, I would have trouble pulling it out. the back panel shouldn't need to "fit" anywhere. It comes installed and is not meant to come out.

Yes it will fit. All you will have to do is remove all three screws from the mount place it where you want it, then reinstall the sideplate and screws. It will lock down completely secure.

I had one that was hard to remove but a little force got it loose. I think the manufacturer doesn't set the tolerances well in manufacturing causing them to be hard to install or remove. Good luck.

Could be loose. Mine barely stays in. Try a different brand and see if it fixes it.

I never take mine out--I have the mount up in headliner at the very top with strong Velcro.. Nobody can really see it- Hold the mount and push with your other thumb?? When you get it out put a tiny bit of Vaseline or anything around the house in that notch. If that doesn't help use a nail file to take down the notch till it easier???
