Unhappy Antena broke off... Now what?

I have a vortex generator as well as perrion shorty antenna on the evo.
the other day i noticed that my antenna has snapped off from the roof and is now missing.
I understand that the portion where antenna hooks onto the roof is park of the car. But its hard for me to tell with the vortex generator.

Has anybody experienced this issue? how can i replace the antenna mount?

Specifically, "Pull headliner and remove two bolts and unplug the the antenna harness. I replaced mine with A lancer antena base. good luck"

Its a pretty easy fix. Some people say you can super glue a nail the broken screw thats still in the hole, then when it dries back it out slowly.

That didnt work for me, I just took the smallest drill bit i could find and made a nice little hole, then i got the smallest bolt extractor i could find to back it out. I didnt even use a drill for the extractor, theyre really not in there very tightly.
