Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / September 2004Broken Antenna!!!
Hey eveyone. I need to know if it's possible to replace the whole antenna mount on a 2003 SE focus. I was washing my car this past weekend and the brush caught on my stubbie antenna and cracked it. Now only half of the scew piece is visible so I need to replace the whole part. Any information on this would be appreciated. Thanks fellas!!!  Signature-AOKFocus03 > Hey eveyone.

Here's hoping the link doesn't get broken. http://www.parts.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getLocator&siteid=213787&chapt er=DR2JK00&appSectionid=2413&groupid=2430&subgroupid=2433&make=10&model=Focus&ye ar=2003&catalogid=2 if it does, work your way down in the Electrical section of http://www.parts.com/ the parts is just over $6.00. Happy modeming, Bill for future reference http://www.makeashorterlink.com/index.php http://makeashorterlink.com/?L19D51F68 > Hey eveyone.

The Ford dealer told me that to install the part I would need to remove the headliner at least partially so that I could get the the bottom of the antenna mount. Is this true? Ford wants $180 to replace the antenns mount, including tax and the part. Will a body shop be able to do this cheaper? Maybe Ford will fix this under warranty ? > I have the same problem.

Thanks - I think I'll try that. It would surely save me a lot of money. Is it hard to make sure that it is sealed up so no water can leak into the car? Thanks - I think I'll try that.

Be VERY careful of the plastic bezel surrounding the ceiling light - it is very brittle and will crack from minimal pressure. The good news is that the bezel is only like 7 dollars.

IIRC there's a rubber grommet that it sits on so sealing it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for all the advice!! I am going to do the work this weekend. Ford quoted me $180 (inc. part and tax) to do the job, so I am really grateful for the money-saving advice. I'll post again to let you know how it went. Thanks! I replaced the antenna mount on Sunday. I had a friend help me and it was very easy and only took about 10 minutes. That dealer who quoted me $180 to do this work was obviously ust trying to rip me off. Thanks for all the advice - it saved me from going to the dealer!! I replaced the antenna mount on Sunday.
