Looking for a non-powered antenna

So, in 2012, I replaced my non-functioning power antenna on my 2001 RX300. Now, the replacement is also rusted and non-functioning. Really, I just want a non-powered antenna, but am having a tough time finding one. Has anyone had luck with this?

You can do like i did and just disconnect the power from the stock one and leave it up 24/7. Mine has been like that since 2008 and still haven't broke it off yet.

You can also get creative with other fixed antennas, you just need to know the thread pitch of them for a mounting stud

If you don't listen to AM, just leave it down and unplug the power. That is it. FM works just fine, and no worry going through a car wash.

This is what I did on my 96 Integra, and radio reception was just fine. Never listened to AM, so I can't comment on that, but FM still came in crystal clear. I'm planning on unplugging the power to the RX when I have some time to tinker with it.
