djk Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 2013 Journey with a snapped antenna. The stud is flush inside the base, so I can't just remove the broken part and install a new one. I haven't messed wit it really. I've found the replacement base, have no idea how involved it is to change, and maintain a weather tight seal. I'd consider an extraction. It looks like maybe brass or soft metal? It's not really in an "work friendly" location or position. Since it's on the roof, secured to/through the roof I don't want to get carried away. In it's current condition, it still looks reasonable. Anyone with any experience or knowledge how to proceed? If I get a new base, I don't want to strip the headliner, never goes back the same. Suggestions for removing the broken stud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 the antena just screws in, so you can drill a small hole in the middle of the broken part and then use an extraction screw bit to remove the piece. it shouldn't be in there to tight i had to replace mine but it wasnt broke off like that...........harbor fright.......

djk Posted June 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Thanks. I've used that process once or twice [many] years ago. Not real happy with it's location and position, but when are we . Hoping it's not tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted June 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Success! Thanks, it was fairly painless. Though I was overly cautious not wanting to completely destroy anything with my lack of experience. 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
