I accidentally broke off my radio antenna while attempting to remove it, carefully, with a wrench. I wanted to upgrade the radio antenna to a shorter model (purchase on eBay) anyway, but was trying to remove the antenna prior to using a drive-thru car wash for the first time.

While I attempted to remove it, the antenna broke off with most of its threads still in the antenna socket/mount. My dad attempted to help remove the broken threads but that led nowhere. Obviously, I'll end up paying Ford for a new antenna and mount, probably.

Mom's and Dad's antennas (one's a Ford '05 Mustang GT, so his antenna's almost identical to mine) come off fairly easily and Dad's had the lock-tite glue but no issues. Mine? Sigh... breaks off during first removal attempt.
