    Should I take off the antenna before driving to a car wash? All my previous
    cars had a power antenna, and I don't know what to do with my Odyssey's
    antenna......

  2. It is always good practice to remove the antenna, if it cannot be
    power-retracted. Unscrew it, and put it back in place after the wash is
    completed. Car wash operators have asked me to unscrew a Volkswagen roof
    mount antenna, which is only about ten inches in length. Better safe than
    sorry.

    It unscrews. I usually take it off, because my preferred car wash has a
    big sign disclaiming responsibility for antennas.

    It usually goes on the dash while the van's going through the wash, and
    reinstalled just before I drive off. It's quite easy to do.

    I only go to the water jet car wash. So I don't have to worry about the
    antena on my CR-V.
    I'd never go to a car wash with brushes. Just imagine what one rock stuck in
    the brushes can do to the paint.
