Snapped my antenna

I was being lazy and quick and took the clubman through the auto wash place. Snapped my short stubby antenna off. Actually ripped the threads right out of the sail on top. So now I need a new sail and a new antenna.

There is a thread somewhere in this sub-forum on replacing it -

As I recall, the OP was having reception problems.

MINI Clubman - Roof Assembly Antenna

Even with it being just threads being damaged, I would recommend replacing the entire unit due to water / damage possibility caused by the wash.

Reduced reception range on the AM band, but that's it. FM antenna is in the rear window, and the XM is in the base.
