Car Wash and Antenna on the Top
Do people normally remove the Radio Antenna on the roof before going through a Car wash which used Cloth. Or they leave it their and has no issues.

in 10 years of MINI ownership, neither car ever saw an automatic car wash!

But I do take the spousal unit's car there, and I do take off the mast ... it takes about 30 seconds .....

there are BIG signs at every wash I've been to warning they are not responsible if they get broken . . .

If you have to use a car wash, use a touchless, don't like the cloth at all. Take it off, it unscrews. Then reinstall.
