Default new rubber what do you call it

hello.
the answer is out there I am sure... I seemed to have had the little rubber piece on the antenna removed somewhere along the way.... I have a 2012 limited and one of the rubber pieces that prevent you from losing an eye is missing....does anyone know what they are called and where do you get a replacement?

I would imagine it's called a "tip" or "cap", Try Radio Shack.

Go to Home Depot, buy a can of Plasti Dip in what ever color you want your tip to be. Dip it several times until you get it to whatever thickness/diameter you want.

I used black silicone caulk. Put a dab on the tip, let it cure for a few hours, then formed it into a ball. Still on there two years later.
It's always funny til someone loses an eye.

Get rid of the ugly whip and install a shorty or a hidden one in the fairing.

I should climb up and take a look to see if mines still there.
I should remove it to get even for all those tall bastages that always put things on the top shelf.

"new rubber what do you call it"

When I need a new rubber, I call it "Round 2".
