[QUOTE="timfitz, post: 447426, member: 23321"] I don't have the original factory one. I bought the Jeep used and it already had the shorter 13" antenna on it. The original owner lived within 20 miles of the city, so I assume the shorter replacement one worked great for them. I live just under 50 miles away from the radio station antennas, putting me near the outer edge of FM signals. So, maybe the longer factory antenna might work for me. Just need to find one that is not too expensive or from a site that doesn't charge me an arm or a leg for shipping. I'm guessing they are a bit pricier at the dealers. I found one on Amazon for $27 shipped. So, are there any problems with those long 31" factory antennas? I'm not talking about reception, but more "functionality". Do they whip around in the wind, make noise while you are driving, even hit the top of the Jeep. Are they problematic when you take the top off? And are they safe in a car wash (I'd hate to have to unscrew it every time I get my Jeep washed)? [/QUOTE]
