Radio reception problem

[Jetson495]

I went to the car wash yesterday and had my truck washed. Before I drove it in, the attendant asked if I wanted him to remove the antenna so I approved it and he unscrewed it and handed it to me. After going through the wash, I reinstalled the antenna and now I'm not getting any reception, HD or otherwise.
I've removed and re-installed the antenna before when I've had it washed with no issues.
Does anyone have any ideas?

thats weird, i remove it everytime i get it washed and never had an issue.

That is odd. Maybe try looking through the passenger door jam to see if the antenna wire is still attached? It shouldn't come off from removing the antenna but who knows?

Sounds like the antenna Gods are angry with you
