you know... everytime this thread comes up I pose the question of where to find a single piece, flexible, more or less unbreakable antenna... but nobody seems to know. I have one on my 98 Grand Cherokee. I can be bent to the hood without breaking, but is quite stiff. Will go through a car wash with absolutely no problem. I hate the wimpy retractable antennas that came on our vans and don't want an expensive PITA electric one. Haven't any of you vw experts ever scored something like that? TIA. Where does Jeep get them I wonder? Now that I think of it, I think my 86 gl had one in the windshield which was very cool... nothing to break off. Why don't they still make those... or do they? I promise I won't ask again.
