Anyone replaced the buggy electric antenna on their C4 with a modern rubber whip?
I'd think a modern antenna would have at least as good reception (if not better) as our old fashioned "Up & Down Stick". LOL
Gotta be a reason - or 10 - that nobody uses the old fashioned ones anymore ...

If my stock motorized antenna ever breaks, I'd replace it with something like this I found on Ebay. Bet the reception would be the same, and cost way less than replacing the OEM antenna. Of course there would be some fabricating/modifying to do before this would work.
Finding a BASE is apparently the issue.
I'm looking for something that could be used on a C4, specifically a convertible.
Various masts (like you use on a C5) won't cut it, there is no base on the C4.

I thought I heard that someone took the motorized one out and patched the hole and painted to match. For an antenna, they use one that is stuck on to the glass and amplified. I tried that eons ago and got pretty good results.
