Don't know how I broke it but it snapped off...the screw from the antenna snapped off into the base..which I'm guessing means a whole new antenna including base...anyone have this happen?  How difficult is it to replace?  Thanks.

from what I've heard it isn't all that hard, I had it happen but it was replaced under vehicle warranty, but I think it's pretty simple, and fairly cheap for those parts.  You'll need a new antenna and a base, I think it's like a little over $20 bucks.

You might be able to save the base.

I managed to break mine on several occations and a few times we (Bill) managed to get the broken part of the antenna out of the base.

Either way it is really easy. Just make sure you get a base from the right year focus is you go to a junk yard or something. They are slightly different year to year and are NOT interchangable.

Good luck!

Yep. Just but a new base for $10-$15 and carefully and patiently take the screw out of the antinna. I took the screw out of chelly's shorty antinna when I accidently snapped it off the base. some tweazers and/or a pick might help getting the screw out.

Or like valve stem caps borrow one off another car and maybe leave a note for them to borrow one off yet another car.... ;hysterical;hysterical

FYI - Junkyards are a great place to find spare Antennas...Dan and I have been known to take as many that are avail. due to their high propensity to snapping
