GPS antenna delete?
So ya same old story the rubber boot broke off im always so careful i even put a topperware to protect it when i cover the car. But whatever its broke and paying 100 bucks for a boot that i don't use or will break again seems kinda dumb.
The antenna is still there just bare with no boot.
Is there any cap i can just tuck this antenna back into the body so its flush or possibly a solid fin like on the current benzs?

gizzo, just buy this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...mZ220288537104
and then take off the antennae with a allen wrench and then push this in, trim the sides for perfect fitment, instead of gluing it on, this will be permanent.

definitely get that gizzo I purchased the same thing after my car cover snapped the factory rubber one. Its made of a harder plastic so it doesn't bend. the actual end that stays in the plastic cap on mine was more square than round so a little trimming and it fit snug.
