What can I do to fix my 97 hidden radio antenna?

[bobotech]

The previous owner had his original rear glass smashed out of the Mark. That was the glass that had the integral glass mounted radio antenna. He could not find a 97-98 rear window anywhere and eventually settled for a 93 rear window that does not have the built in radio antenna.

So in the rear of the headliner, I have an inch or so of radio coax antenna wire hanging with a piece of broken glass hanging from it where it used to connect to the antenna. I want to fix my antenna so I can listen to the radio again and at minimum just because it bugs the hell out of me having a broken antenna.

What should I do at this point? I really don't want to drill holes in the car so is there a sort of replacement antenna for the window mounted radio antennas?

Clicky???


I dunno I would search carpart and get the right window.

There should be antana-less kit you can buy.

An ipod or XM will probably cost you less than a new window..

Carpart has tons of them for around $50. I would buck up and buy one and then pay the $125-$150 to get it put in.

Low deductible and a hammer?!

the hidden antenna kits are cake, i installed one on my buddy's bird when we shaved the power antenna, just stick it under the dash, plug it into the radio, and run power and ground. it actually works really good just tossing it under the dash
