I drove off with the antenna up...
Now I have a broken antenna. Are there alternatives to the crank up antennas? I'd rather have one stuck to a window or something else that can't be damaged. Thanks!

If good OTA TV reception is not a priority, there are a few non-crank up antennas that will work well enough if you're fairly close to the transmitting towers. For the best overall reception though, your best bet is replacing the original crank up Winegard batwing with a Winegard Sensar IV and getting one of the "Antenna is up" hang tags that Jim mentioned. I clip our tag to the ignition key slot when the antenna is up, and to the antenna crank when it's down. All of the parts for the Winegard antenna are readily available, including a Sensar IV head only. Repairs are usually pretty straight forward.
The Sensar IV is basically a Sensar III with the Wingman UHF yagi add-on included. An additional improvement would be to replace the original power injector with a Sensar Pro signal strength meter/amplifier.
