Car Wash snapped my aerial

    '07 Ford Fiesta.
    Put it in the brushwash the other day and the dryer ripped off the aerial from the roof.
    Ive had it in for a wash about 10 times previously without trouble and I swear that aerial was non-detachable cause i looked to unscrew it before. Are all aerials detachable?
    How much would I be looking at for a new one?
    I tried to get the broken part but it was stuck in the dryer and the garage assistant would not let me on a ladder to try get it.

    Indeed you are a supreme novice :)

    They are detachable. On some cars they are reverse thread. Im sure you realise now that proceeding on through was a bad idea.

    You either remove or flatten it to the roof depending on the aerial. Ring your ford dealer I think they retail at anything from 25 up to 40 bills.
