Perinn antenna stolen

I need some quick help. Basically, they came and tried to take it and ended up snapping it so it hung. Then, I guess out of spite a few days later came and just snapped it off completely.

I didn't install it, so i'm not sure what to do at this point. Basically, there is some kind of metal gasket / clip thing - and some broken plastic around the base. Did they really mess me up or can I just buy a replacement antenna? I have no radio reception at this point, kind of sucks.

PS. Screw people.

If you do get another one put some Loctite on it so its a little harder for them to take.

Sounds like you need to replace the antenna base. Happened to me almost 3 years ago. You can order the base from mitsubishiparts.net

WTF?

It's an antenna, why would someone want to steal it so bad? I mean hell, there are tons if S2000s around, why don't people steal those antennas?

What, because it says, 'Perrin' on it? **** off.

Sorry to hear, regardless.

I thought about this as well. But it looks like that would cause the OP's problem. Because it didn't screw off, they snapped it.
