I have this one also and I think it's a really good OEM replacement, but lately it has been spending all its time on my dash in that long slotted area up by the windshield on the passenger side.

I have an antenna delete I bought for carwashes that I keep in all the time now because I never listen to the radio ( I use a jump drive with all my music on it)

Anyway this is what I'm using which isn't good for reception https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN5YRFXR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
If anyone is looking to go in that direction
That's a delete cap...duh

Keep in mind the antennas hight is exactly the height of the bronco with the roof racks installed… so if your antenna bends when you’re going in low overhangs parking garage etc., you know you can’t make it. Its sticks approximately 2 inches above the hardtop.

I've tried several different stubbies, including ones with a proper length antenna basically folded inside. They're all crap as soon as I leave the city. I put the real antenna back on and use it gauge the height of the roof rack.

This is the real value of the original antenna. I will never use the radio, but I like the feeler functionality of it.
