Default 2009 Journey back antenna broke

Hello all..
My rear antenna broke! It got hung up in a crack in the bottom of the garage door as I was driving in the garage and broke off. I think the antenna normally screws and unscrews off.. But I think the bolt even broke..

My question is, is this an easy fix? Something I can do on my own? I think (more like I hope) I can probably take a plyers and pull out the part of the bolt that broke off inside the antenna.. So hopefully all that needs to be replace is the stubby duck part of the antenna... but what if I need to replace the entire antenna? is this an easy fix?

Forgot to mention.. I have the my gig player with Sirius radio..

Welcome to DF
If the screw snapped off clean from the antenna base. you can try to drill the broken screw out, if it doesn't come out. You will need to replace the base and the antenna.

I usually have luck by just spinning it with a Pointy Metal pick. It spins easily because there is no tension on it(yet, b4 it corrode).
