cracked antenna base/mount

[06pvibe]

I think mine has an internal problem. The wife complains about the radio "cracking."I did a search and came up with this: http://www.partswebsite.com/gm...partsClick the illustration link for drawings. http://www.partswebsite.com/gm...30140

I recently replaced mine for the very same reason. I got mine on Ebay for $20.00 including the mast. When I checked, I think the base was around $35.00 without the mast, they were sold seperately. I'm not sure if the Matrix one is the same, but if it is often stuff is cheaper from a Toyota dealer.

I tried the shark fin route. Not a good idea. The OEM antenna base is actually quite a well made complicated part. It has a signal amplifier built into it. I got my price from an online GM parts dealer, can't remember which one. I can't find the Ebay seller's name, I've got about 400 feedback.

Interesting how it seems in the last couple of months antenna base damage has been rather common.Here's a thread to my experience a few years back:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=5967
