Alright so I went through an automatic car wash today, and it ripped off my antenna. The place was closed by the time I noticed, and probably won't take responsibility. Options? Bondo and paint it or find a new mount? Because it ripped it completely out of the car, the mounts under the rear quarter came wth it...

Re: Car wash damage...
Just go to any auto parts store and get a generic GM one. If you look at the pics of my car I had to replace mine as well.Comment

Re: Car wash damage...
Honestly wasn't thinking about it... I run a shorty for a reason, outta sight outta mind. But I would get a GM if it hadn't ripped the entire thing out, not just the part that screws in, but under the panel the three connection points too.Comment

Re: Car wash damage...
Good luck on finding a replacement. I think Pull and Pay just got rid of their 4th gens just recently so you might be on the waiting list for awhile. :(Comment

Re: Car wash damage...
I just want to seal it over, maybe even hide the antenna in the 1/4. But on the plus side, it looks like I got the old one seated in there and it's study enough. Some jbqwik and it seems all good...Comment

I got a month free at this one, and my paint needs so much help as is, I doubt I would notice unless it dents the car.. And as for a scrap yard, VF1 is right. All the ones around here, I only found a single 96 Camaro, and that was so far stripped, it was a stretch to call it a gutter roller.Comment

Re: Car wash damage...
should let the owner of that car wash know so they can compensate you.
I would never take any of my cars to a car wash, even if it's done by hand. They tend to scratch the clearcoat.Comment
