Stubby Antenna

[snowman44]

WHat is everyone running for stubby antennas?  Not to worried about reception as I listen to xm 99% of the time.  Sick of hearing stock antenna hitting garage door.

Same, mostly XM, never terrestrial (commercials galore) radio.  I have no antenna and used a little plastic plug I bought at Lowes to fill the hole.  Has never popped out even through car washes.

Does it shut Karens up, or make desperate mommies wet themselves?  Just trying to figure out what frequency you ended up on, lol.

Works as good as the stock one for me. Holds up in car washes.

I bought the Rydonair 9" via ebay (brand new). Great reception, great looks. and doesn't hit my garage door frame (which was the whole reason I wanted something shorter)

2nd this recommendation. I listen to a lot of terrestrial radio (both AM and FM) and get same reception as OEM with this antennae.
