Does the antenna retract when you go into a car wash

I want to go into a car wash and the Cruze has a long antenna on top that looks like it will break off in a car wash. Does this antenna retract, and when you come out of the car wash, can they just pull it back up into the normal position? The Malibu just had a small nub to pull in Onstar and XM. Maybe with the Mylink system, the Cruze needs this longer type of antenna. Just don't want it breaking off in a car wash. If I leave it in the normal position, will it hold up in a car wash, or will it break off?

Do all Cruze's have this type of antenna, or only the Cruze's with the MyLink System?

You never answered my last question to your post. How many drinks did you have before posting on this forum? I ask that because at least half of your posts make absolutely no sense.

The guy who referred to the 12 inch long stock antenna as a "whip" antenna needs to get out more. Find a guy driving a car who is an amateur radio operator - now that is a whip antenna. I did appreciate learning that the stock "stub" antenna can be unscrewed, in case I need to park in a bad area. I have not met the automatic car wash brush yet that can damage clear coat. After about 100 automatic car washes with brushes, I might need to buff out the clear coat, but that's several years down the road, but that's only if I buy it at the end of the lease..

What does all of that mean? Is it some sort of secret code? Is it some sort of quote from the Free Masons?

I kinda feel bad for the OP who is actually living up to his title by Learning about his Cruze, and it went in so many directions away from that.

In other news, I really should stop by my dealer to get an antenna bag, just to have one. That way if I do go shark fin some day, I have a storage bag for the antenna mast.
