Replacing Broken OnStar/XM/Sirius Mast
I have a 2006 Monte Carlo SS and have had the misfortune of accidentally snapping off the wedge shaped antenna mast off its base on the roof of the car. It happened while I was scraping snow and ice off after a storm during this brutal winter. Looking at the attached photo, you'll see what looks like something inside the mast being sheared off from the shorter of the 2 bare metal studs. I found no corresponding pieces of metal falling out of the bottom of the mast. Maybe I missed it. I tried to glue the thing back onto the base, but it came off in the car wash yesterday, and couldn't find it. I saw one on Ebay (link follows)-- ACDelco OE Service 20842596 Cellular Phone Antenna | eBay -- but I'm not sure how to attach it. What I'm wondering is, looking at my photo, is there a piece of the bottom of the mast still inside the base? Also, there seems to be a wedge shaped button of some kind (arrow), but it doesn't press down when I push on it with a screwdriver. Before I waste $20 buying the replacement, does anyone know the answer to my question, and how to install a new mast from ebay, or should I just have the dealer do it? Thanks.
