Antenna spring or shorter model

Well my 2017 Super Duty squeezes in the garage with about 3/4" to spare, but the radio antenna just sounds like hell scraping the garage door, or it's going to bend. I took it off.

Found shorter replacements on Amazon, like a 21".

Any recommendations or where to buy a unit with factory quality?

Thanks

I searched the forum and found no similar posts, but....

I had to shorten mine to get it to fit in the parking ramp at work. I took the ball off, snipped it down 6 inches, reattached the ball, and hit it with spray paint. Looks perfect. There are several YouTube videos on doing it. 20 minute job.

I purchased a 17" at Auto Zone, works well even out in the country where I live and easily clears the garage door.
