antenna fix

[lilrobo]

i went through the car wash today and the black housing came off , you can see where there was 4 screws hold the cover on, is there a fix to this besides replacement ? i did you see you can get from amazon or ebay but thats the easy part getting the headliner down and back up is the tough part
thanks

Does the antenna still work? If still working, you can replace only the cover. Replacement covers are available on Ebay. The process to replace cover involves a new cover and gluing it in place. There is a video of the replacement steps online with a Kia auto. The replacement looks good and can be done by a DIY person. If not, a detail shop would know how to handle the job. A new antenna is about $240 plus labor to install and that would involve dropping the headliner. The replacement cover is about $20.
