Default Stupid question ... what do I do with the cell phone antennae?

I can unscrew it but then it's got exposed metal, which I'm guessing can't be good.

Is there a cap or something I can buy to put over the exposed threads?

Default Which year is your car? The stock rear cell annt? If you have that, I think it means you have the ..

.... warm weather package ( as I do) and it also means that annt is also your FM annt. I removed it when I purchased a new cell that does not have a car kit yet, but my FM was horrible.

I rarely use the FM but if I drive it to work, I listen to howard and need the annt to pick up the stations from afar.

Default Mine's a 2001, I'll have to take it off and see if it kills FM.

This antennae is straight up 80's looking.

Do you have the warm weather package? If not, I believe it is in the glass.
