Default I've done it twice. Doh!
To my comm Antenna. Not while flying though I was doing something under the panel and broke off the BNC connector which is behind pilot side right rudder pedal by about 3 inches with my clumsy feet somehow. Just today I made a simple shield using the 2 rearmost screws that I hope will prevent the third time.

Don't forget every antenna needs a ground plane to work properly, 8" dia. for the xpdr is recommended.
