    I have Yakima Whispbars on the top of my 2010 Prius IV. I haul a paddleboard on top of the rack, and the antenna has to come off for me to do that. Prior to more recently I have not listened to the radio much but now I am and I don't get my radio station without the antenna. Is there a short antenna that could possibly work?

    There was a post sometime back where the OP had relocated the antenna to inside the rear spoiler. Try a search...

    If you dont want to spend the money on the Sharkfin you can shoot over to O'reilly. They sell a set thats like $18 I think and comes with a 2" stubby. I used it for a while before getting my sharkfin and never had any problems with it at all.

    If you have a IV, I suspect you might have a solar panel. If so, you need to purchase a shark fin antenna from PC Shop (~$90). Any ol' shark fin might not fit. It might creep over to the solar panel. If you don't have a solar panel, you can go with any shark fin antenna that'll fit a Prius.

    If you don't want a shark fin antenna because you think it might not get a very good reception, here are some options:

    Sports Style Short Antenna for Toyota All Model 4 7 inch Carbon Fiber TRD | eBay

    Black Universal 1 4" Carbon Fiber Car Radio Antenna Adjustable Aerials Fit All | eBay

    4 7" Silver Universal Carbon Fiber Screw Aluminum Short Car Radio Aerial Antenna | eBay
