I tore the condom off mine at an Arby's drive-thru in Erie last month... D'OHHHH!
Bought a cheap-azz replacement stick at a truck stop, and took the condom off THAT one, to protect my Wilson (and the condom DOES make a difference with a tuneable antenna!!!). And then I electrical taped it in place, for good measure!
Discovered that with the QD mount and the antenna removed, I CAN still run it through car washes without problems. Changes the angle on the hood-mounted scanner antenna, but I gotta jump out and fold the mirrors back into place after a car wash anyways.
