These short antennas never work when you need them. I’d like to see an antenna inside the windshield. This works good for car washes. I have to admit a cool factor for those shorties.

I remember when cars had retractable antennas. If the radio was off, the antenna retracted into the fender. Like Lariatdriver, I think antennas built into the glass are the way to go. My 98 toyota has the antenna in the rear window. My 13 suburban has the antenna in the rear side glass. No issues with either of those.

I remember the GM inside of the windshield antennas from the 70's & 80's. Great idea. Lousy reception.
I had '78 Mercury Cougar XR7 with a retractable antenna. Nice feature.
