Cut your stock one down. I have a TA, and when I got it, the power antenna didnt work. I know how high they go, so I bought a manual one and put it on, and cut the antenna down. Here's a pic (dont hate TA guys, I've had terrible luck with power antennas even on past vehicles). Hope it is seen ok.

I want to say the shorty antenna is an aftermarket piece, but maybe some of the latter C5s had shorty's factory. And power antenna's I believe was a Poncho option. There's a few writeup's floatin around on how to turn your car into a PA car, so just do a search and Im sure you'll find one.
