Broken Aerial Antenna....help plz

[scottttyyyy]

Well i took the car through the car wash the day after screwing on my aerial (little stubby one), and as it is a solid piece, its came away with the litle bolt that connects to the antenna. Theres no way of getting it back in, iv tried getting the snips and cutting 4 line to try force it in with no luck....so now i ask for some advice. How easy is it to remove the antenna base from the car? am i required to remove the lining from the roof inside or is there a simpler way on the external roof? Im thinking halifords or ray smith here i come, but just wondering if there is a cheap simple way of doing it myself. Any help appreciated.

Cheers

the aerial is normally bolted through from the inside so yer you have to remove the roof liner.

depends on what car it is, i did the one on my Marea not so long ago after some kind person snapped it off for me, cost £10 for a new base on ebay and about 30 minutes fitted as i had to remove the sunroof motor.
