Just ripped the antenna off my car backing into the garage

[DGVictus]

I found this to be the most applicable location to post [ advanced apology if not ]

The garage door didn't fully go up this evening as I got home from work. Didn't take notice since I turn, hit the garage door button, then reverse up and by the time I reverse in I can't see the top of the door cause it's up by the time I get back.

Needless to say, heard the twack and had a "OH $#!%" moment. Got out and saw that was the only damage [ thank God ]. Looking to replace it. Co-signer on the lease is a certified mechanic and is able to do repairs. Was looking for a recommendation on where to get a new one for them to replace it with.

Thanks.

ask FLIPDADY for a quote on a stubby antenna

[Soyabean]

depending on what antenna you are looking for, you can probably buy it off people on this forum as many people have replaced their stock horsewhip or stubby with a sharkfin

What year is your car?

ho wbadly is the antenna damaged? only the antenna part of it or did it damage the base aswell

[RTEnthusiast]

I have my factory antenna sitting in my garage doing nothing since I replaced it with a stubby. PM me if you want it.

I also have a stock antenna for mazda 3 sedan.

Its chillin in the garage, you can have it if you like, PM is key


You could also get a stubby (shorter antenna for your 3) from mazda dealers. Ask for the 2010+ hatch stubby and it will fit well. price about $23 with tax approx

[Darkice]

there like 10 bucks on ebay for a stubby

I still have my factory one too laying around, somewhere..

Stubby is a better look for sure.

However, if anyone does need the stock fishing pole antenna, I have one in my garage too that I'll give away free to a member. Just PM me.

It wasn't your fault..

merely God telling you that he doesn't like the OEM fishing pool either.

[mazdaskit]

still have my stock one somewhere lol
