Antenna broken off...

Anyone know how I can fix this?

 

What is that? That looks nothing like any part of the stock antenna I have.

 

Go to AutoZone and get another antenna.

 

very strange looking antenna, indeed. That is not factory, for sure...

Anyway, the silver ring is a nut. Remove this weird gray thing and just unscrew the silver nut, then put a new antenna in

 

I think the silver thing is a Ferrite bead? Something for RF isolation, they were on a lot of older video and signal cables but I don't see them anymore.

 

You will need an antenna bezel nut removal tool. Order it from Amazon

 

no, it looked like plastic when I removed mine.
If I remember, the ferrite is inside the black plastic molding that goes into the fender

I did manage to remove mine with a small pipe wrench, haha. Didn't know there was a tool for this

 

nope, never mind. the black plastic thing is 100% plastic. The silver ring is plastic too

 

Take a pair of channel locks or Vise grip clamp onto the piece that's not broken of the antenna and unscrew and go get a new one. You shouldn't have to replace the whole antenna cord

 

Thank for the help guys. Gonna take a crack at it tmr morning I'll let you know how it goes
