Default external antena

Is it ok to leave the external antenna on while going through an automated car wash? The owners manual says to take it off.

Thanks

If you are referring to the antennae on the passenger side rear roof it folds down otherwise what antennae are you talking about???

Yes thats the one I was talking about. Do you need to unscrew it? I guess I will see if it lays down so it does not get damaged. The manual said to unscrew it but that would rust the inside of the antenna out.

No problems leaving it on. Shouldn't have to take it off for each auto wash, especially if you do this weekly or biweekly.
