I'm going to have to assume that its made to give because going through a carwash is so common place for people. If your really worried about just unscrew it and re-install it when your done

Unscrew it and put it back on after as it can break the antenna or base.

I wouldn't take it through the car wash... even if it was a stubby, I'd recommend taking it off, first.

Then again, I wouldn't take my car through the car wash in the first place... but I'm really particular about that, so...

Just take it off, it takes seconds.

And do not use the automatic car washes with the tracks that lead the car through.... MINIs do not have the best track record with those.
