Tried searching the forum for help but couldn't find an answer to this precise question.

I did something when hauling something on the roof rack and it snapped off my antenna mast.

The base is intact and when I look into it, I see a asterisk-shaped piece with what appears to be the snapped off metal core of the mast in it.

I bought a replacement antenna mast on ebay but I can't figure out how to put it on.

Can anyone help!

Thanks!

You might have to replace the base too. Check this out: http://www.acuramdx.org/forums/show...=&threadid=9866

...by the way, what did it cost you? It is the same antenna as the s2000. I think Tim sells them for about ~$15.

Thanks, that is very helpful. I think the broken off screw/post is exactly the problem.

Will have to see if I can figure out how to extract it from the base!

You can buy a drill accessory at Sears that will allow you to remove broken pieces such as the mast. I have used it to remove stripped screws & even a fan shaft which broke off in the motor of my Centra Air.

Good Luck!!

You'll need to drill into the center of the broken off stub (1/16" - 3/32" drill), then us a small "Easy Out" to back out the old threads.
