Default Antenna tie down clips

Looking for a source to get something to hold the antennas down while in a trailer or low garage on my 2005 Ultra Classic, any help?
Thanks to any responses.

this isn't exactly the solution to what you asked, but maybe this type of antenna appeals to you...

Doug, This is a free and easy way to hold the antenna's down. My buddy told me about this after I got my new 06 Ultra antenna stuck in the garage door my first day bringing it home.
There is a slight gap on the front of each of the saddlebag latch handles, at the top, where it clamps the lid to the lower portion of the bag.
Bend the antenna foward and hook the antenna ball tip in the gap between the saddlebag and the latch handle. (One antenna per latch handle). This will hold the antenna down. You don't need to buy anything at all.

Saw this at a dealer recently and it works like a charm - Great Idea!!!!

Thanks for that little tid bit. I hate banging those critters going into the garage. This will work for now, but I need to find some good, short replacement antennnas so I don't have to put them into the stow postion every time.
