Hi Rob, sorry to hear about your crv. In my case the roof damage was repaired using pliers and a flat bar that I used by placing through the hole in the roof and then pressing and tapping with a plastic hammer to flatten the roof as much as possible. The clip that broke off the antenna was glued back on with a good glue. The clam looking piece that bolts to the antenna and then tightens to the underside of the roof had to be bent back into shape before being reassembled. As the sheet metal of the roof was stretched it was very difficult to get it as flat I did. I was lucky that the antenna covered any signs of this. The gasket for the antenna is not very big and I was worried it might leak because of the uneven surface of the roof around the hole, so that is why I used a “life caulk” caulking to seal it, I used this on my boat it works. Each time I wash the vehicle I check the caulking looking for evidence of deterioration. So far, after two years it still looks the same. The only cost was my time, the touch up paint and the caulking and it looks like it never happened. I looked on the internet, antenna assemblies go for about $70.00. Use caution with the headliner you don’t want to crease it. Good luck with your repairs.

Thanks! Came very close to this happening on my 2023 Honda Ridgeline. I did stop in time, while backing out, after I heard a crunch. Everything works. Just going to have to secure the shark fin to the car now. And I also need a bottle of touch up paint.

I just had a similar issue with our 2020 CR-V. Part of the unit stayed on the roof, but clips are broken and damage to the roof too. Where did you purchase the replacement and how much did it cost? Thanks.

I have the exact same problem, but I am trying to assess how your situation was before you removed the antenna. Mine looks like its popped out. Its not wobbling, but I can't push it back in either. Just checking to see if you were in the same boat. Another question - where was that broken piece? Was that just under the antenna itself?
