Just got home with my new Promaster SLT Wagon. Pulled into garage and noticed the aerial which slants backwards comes in contact with top of garage entry. Will have to hold it down to back out. Anyone else faced this. Any solution appreciated.

Find a 'shark fin' style replacement antenna.

Or a little 5" stubby instead of the stock longer mini-whip.

Aerial Hint

Thanks for the tip. The existing aerial unscrews easily so I will take your advice

Take it off, put it behind the passenger seat, radio works pretty good without it and only slightly better with it, been driving like this for a year+ because I visit so many customers in their underground parking.
I don't think a shark fin antenna will fit due to the curvature of the roof, plus they look silly!
If I can recall correctly the antenna off the chevy spark or sonic has the same thread pitch as the PMC antenna and will screw in, its flexible unlike the stubby antennas and possibly cheaper.

OEM Aerial Replacement

Local car radio shop recommended PEP BOYS for OEM antenna. Got a Pilot ANT-029B, just under 5 inches long. Installation required a M6-1x25mm Socket Set Screw as the adapters that came with the Pilot Antenna did not work.

I shortened mine off to about 8 1/2 inches. Some pics starting at post #14.
