Hey everyone, stupid question here but does anyone remove the antenna before going through an automatic car wash, or do you just leave it? Don’t want to risk messing anything up
Thanks!

I went to Lowes and bought a shorty wrench to keep in my armrest. It's so easy I take mine off.

I just use the regular wash bay and spray the inspected wash brush off thoroughly. Before brush washing, I pre wash with the wand really well first to get the big stuff off. Seems gentle enough here. In between those thorough washes I use touchless so I keep the stock antenna in place. Great reception that might be handy in the boonies.

If the car wash isn’t touch-less or hand wash, I won’t use it.

I would remove mine, as it gets beat up pretty bad in the washes. I have replaced it with a short antenna and leave it on and have no problems.
