    Just put on the 13" antennax euro style on my 2013. The reception is actually better than the stock antenna! No lie!

    So they dont snap off. There is generally signs at carwashes saying to roll down your antenna, or take it off.

    Well this gets even better..didn't see a little tool in the glove box to do so.
    I was about to order a stubby antenna but went outside to check how easy it was to get off and I was like uhhh this thing isn't moving. Made me feel like I should just leave it.

    I'll be looking for this tool now, thanks.

    I've got the CravenSpeed stubby antenna. Really like the clean look. Not to mention -- don't have to worry about it snapping in half if I ever have to take it through an automatic car wash ;)

    The stocker. Just cut it down to where it doesn't hit the garage door but is just a bit over the roof line. Reception is as good as it ever was, and it's free. Not bashin' anyone's aftermarket. I'm just cheap

    AntennaX euro as of Wednesday. Really, really like it so far. I haven't been to far out of the county yet but plan to this weekend. Mountain trip planned. I'll attach a picture for anyone wondering how it will look. Thanks AntennaX.

    Yep, i'm running the same, AntennaX euro. Love the look, its short and no reception issues what so ever. However, I do worry about someone walking up and unscrewing it...

    I bought the short 14" billet antenna about three weeks ago. From driving all over North Texas (city and country landscapes), I am switching back to the OEM one. Reason I wanted a shorter one was that the antenna would hit my garage door when leaving.

    The antennax 14" that I bought has the reception cut in and out all the time. Some stations, I have great signal, but of course the ones I listen too the most, I can't because of the fading of signal.
