My wife just got home and told me she washed the car. It was sunny here in Houston today. Then she said "I forgot to put down the antenna." She went through a drive through car wash. The antenna is now a pretzel broken at the base.

I looked at the antenna parts on every thing Infiniti. I see that the mast is listed seperately. Question is how do I know if I can get by with just replacing the mast or if I need the whole thing?

thanks,aaronl

Youll just need a new mast... If the antenna worked to begin with your all good...

I had a broken antenna once. Got the mast at the dealer and had it installed in a car audio shop. Get the mast. That's all you need.

You can get all of the old mast and belt out, your home free... Just pull it out and reinstall... Chances are you will need to take out the antenna motor...

Simply take it out, take it apart to get all the crap out, reinstall it, and stick the mast in there... Very simple
