Here's another option though, Karen...when my wife's Maxima sustained antenna damage in a car wash (she forgot to turn off the radio), we took the whole works out and just put a manually retractable antenna in its place. Even with it fully retracted, the radio picked up all the local stations without an issue. When we went on trips with it, I would extend it some, to pick up distant stations (like when driving to San Antonio). The other thing I liked about that method was that it cleaned up the lines of the car somewhat when the antenna was all the way down.

I agree. I really prefer the separate toggle switch for the power
antenna in my '69 98 to the goes up automatically when you turn the
radio on style in the newer cars. The option of not trying to raise the
antenna when the car is covered with ice is a good thing to have.
