Default How do I get rid of the ugly XM antenna?

I searched and couldn't find anything. It's probably on here somewhere. I want to get rid of the XM antenna. I heard there was supposed to be something from the dealer to cover the hole in the roof. My local dealer knows nothing about it. Does anyone have any experiance whith this?

you would have to find another location for another XM antennae, not to mention if you have OnStar, I believe it uses the same antennae as well

If that's what it takes it will eventually be done! Anyone else?

What if you took the antenna out, then found a real nice low profile rubber plug from the hardware store and silicone it in place. Would that be ghetto or would it meet your standards in appearance?

If I could find a plug that layed flat enough it would be fine for now. At least until I could fill the hole properly and have it repainted. I just thought there might be a specific part that was available at the dealer that the people at my local dealership were too lazy to look for.
