    I "installed" some Sugru over the weekend.

    The process couldnt be easier.

    Its like playdough for about 30 minutes. Then you have to leave it alone to cure for roughly 24 hours.

    I used 2 packs and worked it into a good shape then took some soapy water to give a smoother finish (vs. have finger prints everywhere)

    I am over all pretty impressed with the product. It was a heck of alot cheaper than a new antenna and even easier to install.

    Its a little closer to a faded black, than a black when its all done. It almost matches the rest of the lightly faded roof rails.

    The sugru is heat and cold and UV resistant.

    Here are some pictures.....
