Depending on the size/shape of the hole, you may be able to find a
rubber body plug to fill it. It's still going to be an ugly rubber
plug, though.
The best solution would be to weld in a patch panel to repair the hole
and then re-paint the panel, but that would cost more than replacing
the power antenna.

the only thing worse for reception than a power antenna is usually an i
glass. you should go to a fixed mass antenna for the best reception
even one that you can manuallly raise and lower like th harada (antenn
works/metra) kl15 antenna would be much better than a powwer. remembe
any time you add moving parts you get the chance to hurt receptio

bah... nothing wrong with the reception using a nice Hirschmann 6000U or EL.
