Yeah, I've had my SS/SC for a little over two years, and while I try and avoid going through a car wash and always try and hand wash it, it's made it through every car wash I've been through. Now it's gotten really loose but still stays on. Just make sure to tighten it every once and a while.

Your best bet is to get a shorty antenna as mentioned, you can either buy one of D.I.Y and cut & crop your stock antenna.

Mine will never go through a car wash. Never.

I intend to get a shorty antennae, does anyone have any recommendations, vendors?

I could search, but since we've already got this thread here...

If my SS/SC wasn't a lease, it'd never go through a car-wash either... but since it goes back and will be off my hands... oh well.

Hey PM Joe 07BlackSS/SC. I saw his shorty antenna on his 08 SS/TC and it looked nice!

I got a shorty antenna off of Ebay. I believe the guy I bought it from, his name was "Antenna-X".... I also think, that the antenna I got is like 12" tall.
