I installed a shorty antenna on my focus and ran it through a car wash and the mount broke, I need a cheap replacement asap, my reception sucks now
here is a pic notice the lack of the threaded shaft

I could probably get you a cheap one, but I'm not sure how to take them off. I've never broken one.

I would just CAREFULLY cut your stock one like I did. I looks great and bends for the car washes.

Yep, cut your stock so it can flex. I've broken my original base the same way.
It's SUPER easy to change out. 1 bolt. Just pop your dome light out and swap it out. 5 second job.
P.S. This is Nils.

I could have gotten you one on Thursday if I'd known this. Otherwise my car gets muddy as fuck going to the salvage yard. I could have gotten the antenna and base.

I was'nt planning on going back anytime soon.
Whens the earliest you want it by? I can maybe swing by on Weds. and pick one up on my day off. If its not snowing that day.
Oh yeah, after getting some stuff last week, the Kona is finally back together. Everything is in, works and lites up. Only thing to change now are the AC knobs and the LCD display...

Can you bring it on Thursday, we are having a meet on Thurs, right? and I think Loxx was looking for a coolant tank resevoir Cap. What happened to the kona that you needed parts?

I don't think I can make it up this week on Thursday tho.
it might be faster to just order one from Steve since you prob won't get the base til' about a week and half from now.
