Simple, when the car was in the shop I had the body man do an
antennalectomy. I can't find anything I like on the radio anyway.
Remember you don't need an antenna to listen to a tape or CD.
I bet a guy could mount one of those short rubber duck antennas
inside behind the seats somewhere. Even if the top bends it over
a little, so what. One could even duct tape a length of wire to the
inside of the top. Take a look at the late model cars, a lot of them
have radios with no visible antenna. The antenna is actually a thin
wire embedded in the window glass.
