Same has happened to mine. Interested to know if I can just replace the antenna or if the whole thing has to be replaced

Grab plastic base of aerial rod with pliers and it unscrews.

It's probably welded itself in like mine did. I sold the car but would have needed to replace mount and aerial. I think you get at it through the interior light.

Not with you? The aerial threaded section has snapped, leaving a piece in the aerial mount.

I did that too but the aerial never worked properly afterwards. Mind you my ham fisted efforts were probably the reason.

You can take the base off it is just one stud which you can get to behind the interior light

No need to do that mate. I took the targa glass out and stood up to have a look at the roof mount. There is a plastic cap on one side which comes off, exposing a Philips screw. I took that out which releases the part the aerial screws into. I have just about drilled it out now then will reassemble. I will put some photos up when finished. Thanks for the reply.
