Smile Antennae Issue

Hi all, just thought I would share my antennae issue and see if anyone has done the same or something different. I have had 3 Ford Trucks and an Expedition (currently have my 2003 4x4 Supercab) and have always been annoyed when everytime I go to the car wash my truck comes out with the antennae bent over and I have to get out and starighten it back out. I finally went and got a "rubber" one that is very flexible and never has that problem. The reception seems to be the same as the old metal one. I just wondered if anyone else has done the same or something different? After seeing mine I know that 4 people that work in my building went out and did the same thing with their Ford trucks...

I agree, I think they should go to the window based antennae or have it go thru the small satellite antennae that is on the new vehicles.
