Found nothing on my latest issue using the search, maybe someone can pass some advice my way.

The other day on the way home from work I suddenly heard something clacking on the rear window. Stop to check it out and found my roof mounted antenna laying down on the rear glass. It seems the rubber dry-rotted and that allowed the antenna to just flop down. I had to remove the antenna (yanked it off) which was only held on by some rubber. Strangely there wasn't any wire connecting the base to the rest of the antenna...??

I am wondering how to replace this. I think I remember seeing replacements on ID parts or another parts site, but I can't really tell how the base removes. I hope I don't have to pull the headliner!

Thanks in Advance.

IDK if the threaded part that remains of the base is there but if so get a 2008 dodge avenger or chrysler kin of that model antenna at the dodge/chrysler dealer for around $5 dollars. I replaced my rotted antenna on my Mk4 jetta with one and you hve a chance to put a stubby or one about 10" long, I got the spiral one. It works great.
