weBoost released their new Drive Magnetic Antenna in June 2020, designed for use on vehicles with a magnetic mount installation. It replaced the former classic 4" Mini Magnet Mount 'stubby' antenna  included in many of their cellular booster kits. 

The Drive Magnetic Antenna replaces the classic 4" Mini Magnet Mount antenna (which we affectionally have called 'the stubby') in some of weBoost's current vehicle booster kits - starting with both the Drive Reach and Drive Sleek kits.
