I'm new to the new Mustangs having picked up my '06 GT on Saturday. I bought a 14" shorty whip as I hate the factory antenna. So I'm unscrewing the factory, and the screw breaks off inside the housing... Uggg, guess I'll have to pay someone for some of this stuff if I can't even change out the antenna. Anyone have a clue how to drill the broken off screw out? I'm having the car in to replace the skipper 500 on Thursday, may let them do it....

lol....i hope your next mods go better

 

I feel your pain, but that is funny.

 

same thing happed to a bud of mine on his ranger, Ford puts freaking thread lock on it

 

drill it out with a smaller diameter drill bit and wobble it around. then pull out the rest with a pair of needle nose pliers

 

+1 Great advice...should work perfectly..

 

Hey, if you can't laugh at yourself, someone will do it for you... I tried the drill thing some, figure I'm screwed on getting another antenna into that base anyway. I have to take the car back to the dealer for tinting next week anyway. I'll pay them to fix my screwup. Looks like getting that base off would be a pain as there is a support bracket right in front of it...
