XM/Radio Antenna
Anyone know how flexible the XM antenna is? I need to pick up some plywood and put it on the roof rack and realized the the rubber antenna sticks up higher than the roof rack.

Antenna Flex
I always leave it on when I put my surfboard on the roof rack. The antenna flexes about half way down. The service guy at the Acura dealer said it wasn't a problem and so far the antenna always springs right back when I take my board off.
I'm trying it - worst case is I have to get a new antenna, which should be covered under warranty.

I actually drove for a couple of minutes without the antenna and I was able to receive XM without noticeable loss. Maybe I was lucky enough to get a ground-relayed XM signal for a while.
