Default OEM Antenna broke off in car wash
All that's left is a broken stub and i can see the metal ring. Where can i get a new one besides the stealership?

Default I assume you know..>
It's not a "Real" antenna? Just wired to the OEM phone set-up if you have one which is rare. Dealer would be your best choice, though those little babies aren't cheap (for something that does nothing)

Default You could do a antenna delete like TTagz.
I did it and it looks great and its cheap.

Default It's only 8 degrees out! Believe me i would prefer to wash myself
There was just so much salt on the car I couldn't bare to look at it... It was a "touchless" wash, but there was a dryer component at the end that comes down on your car... as soon as I saw it, I knew i was in trouble but it was too late

Default Yea, I thought it was fake too, but...
my radio reception sucks now when I'm moving it fades in and out real bad, but it's fine at a stand still.

Default Something else might be broken. That's the antenna for the phone
it was dropped after MY2001 and Euro cars without the cell phone option never had it to begin with.
