Default How to replace antenna?

Antenna was bent and broke off. I'd like to replace it myself. Does anyone know of any good instructions around?

Car is 2006 XK8 Convertible

Thanks!

Unhappy Antenna nub

I have noticed my antenna nub is missing. Some kid or thief must have either taken it off for kicks or needed it as a replacement. But now I have the nub missing off the top of my antenna. I'm not sure if it screws on. Is there any way to replace this tiny nub on top of the antenna? Is it sold somewhere or can it be found anywhere I can't seem to find it at any parts places.

just a heads up,don't go paying silly prices for a jaguar factory fitted antenna,just a basic electric antenna from your High Street motor shop around £15 looks and works just as good with full instructions,had mine on for around 7years now still works and the sound is perfect

This piece arrowed in red? If so, it's part of the mast and not available separately.




An OE Jaguar mast is around $56 but aftermarket masts are only $16.

The antenna works fine I have to grease it every so often. Hate to buy a whole antenna just for the small grommet at the top. I guess I'll have to live with it missing. I don't know why people can't leave other people's property alone. This is what you have to deal with living in this crap NYC.
