Default Antenna Jack for Headunit

So, I swapped the headunit on my neon. Since then its been swapped multiple times. After swapping it so much, the 'wings' broke off the jack that goes into the headunit and it no longer 'plugs in'. What would be the easiest and cheapest way to fix this? I know running antennas can be a pain, so im looking for a simple solution. Open to any suggestions.
Thanks

Have they been aftermarket head units? If so, you might have an adapter on your factory antenna wire. Check for it. If so, buy a new adapter for $5 and replace it.

Sorry for the delay in my response. Yes, they have been aftermarket headunits. It came with an adapter. But the stock jack wont fit into the adapter since the 'wings' are broken off. Do i need to run a whole new antenna?

That the antenna jack to the adapter then, not the jack that goes to the headunit I'm no expert on this subject, but if it were me, I'd be planning on installing a new antenna. That, or you could rig it up with some duct tape - plug the antenna into the adapter, tape it and see what happens. 'Bout the only two options I can think of.
