Not my day, just pulled dust cover off car and took the aerial with it

It's a '98 MPI Cooper with front roof mounted job. It has snapped at its base. I think it was the standard item, i.e. black plastic/fibre about 18" long.

Are these replaceable with original parts or what after market job would you suggest? Quite fancy a stubby one to stop this happening again.

Is the thread on the Aerial Metric or imperial do you know?.

Many thanks for any suggestions offered.

you could switch to an internal aerial, never snap it with the cover then

which part is actually broken:

aerial
base.

[Bungle]

just go for that 70's look and stick a wire coat hanger in the end

Just noticed the base is out of stock on minispares - try somerford mini - their part number is XUF000120 - £10.74

Cheers Guys.................was tempted with the coat hanger idea but we've only got wooden ones and it looked stupid when I offered it up

Just been to local parts shop and picked up a 2 piece alloy bee sting aerial. seperated the top from the bottom, just using the top bit (which has the 5mm thread and jobs a goodun, nice little 3 inch stubby.

Many thanks once more.
