Maybe the US-spec Cherokees are different from those sold in Canada. After reading your email a few minutes ago, I went out for a walk looking for Cherokees to test the idea since I, too, would love to find an unbreakable antenna for my vanagon. I found six Grand Cherokees, all late 90s style. All of their antennas broke right off before they could touch the hood. Oops. I must say, though, that they *did* bend more than I would would have expected before they broke off in my hand. Oh well, if anyone *does* find a source of unbreakable antennas, let me know. I still thinks it's a good idea. T.
