So a car wash I had never been to broke my antenna off and left most of the nut still in the antenna housing.

I tried using cutting a line for a screwdriver into the topside of the bolt, just broke it further in.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

I did that to mine, my old roommate grabbed my antenna and used a drill to drill it out then used an EZ out to back the reamining stuff out. There is no easy way to pull that sucker out. Perhaps a drill set in reverse (I don't think i have anymore EZ outs after fleas car).
