Just cut mine yesterday with dremel by approx 8" so it now sits slightly above the top of the front marker. Just slip the antenna with ball over an adjustable wrench, put tape on the ball side so it won;t fly, gave it one wack with a rubber mallet.
I did put the ball back, just used little bit of JB Weld mix and it is very tight now.
Reception is just about the same, may be the AM is not as good as before but since I only use XM & FM mostly, that AM part is not for sure.
