EDIT: my 1998 Civic has the same sliding antenna design. I'm trying to shave the surface plastic housing.
Access to the radio is a plus, I agree. I like radio. I like the CBS network on the AM band. I like NPR and Pacifica. Losing them is significant. I am wondering about some sort of alternative to the OEM plastic housing, something flat, maybe of coroplast, and sealed against water somehow. I would like to be able to slide the antenna if necessary. Alternately, a new antenna is a possibility. Something that would be hidden, like in or on the glass, but effective still. Didn't MetroMPG get better results deleting his antenna by sliding it into the a-pillar?
