Default Antenna Missing?

I was thinking on the drive to work this morning about how I couldn't pickup one of my favorite radio stations. A couple of the others come in clear. Then it dawned on me that I couldn't remember seeing a radio antenna. When I got to work I looked on top of the roof and found where the antenna base is but looked like the stem had come off.

Any suggestion as to what type of antenna to get? Not sure why it picks up some stations clearly and not others. I don't use the Satellite radio...just the FM.

It's a 2012 Crew.

David,

You might want to review with your Dodge dealer. They will be able to provide options and confirm the compatibility with you exact model.

Thanks Katie. I'm going to have to do that. After looking at the antenna mount closer I can't even figure out how to add the stem part to the base. I guess I'm a little on the dense side. LOL.

Got the new antenna on. Works great. Can finally pick up the gospel station I couldn't pick up before.

Thanks for all your help.

Just to clairify, just bought 2013 Durango rt, Is there supposed to be an antenna that sticks out of the base on the roof on the back? Have really poor reception no matter where I am. Has the base, but just a little nub where it looks like something should either pull out, or be screwed on... help! lol
