Default Antenna connector problem

While installing a new radio, the antenna connector broke off (see picture). Can someone please advice on how to reapir this? I don't want to install a new cable, as this runs from the center cosole all the to the roof antenna.

two thoughts....

1) You should be able to find a replacement plug at radio shack for that. I don't think it's anything fancy or exotic....

2) It's a pretty easy job to run a new antenna wire....I did it on both 944's (the S2 was for XM)....so keep an opened mind !

Thanks for the info. Where does the antenna wire route through the car? I may do if I don't have to take half the interior apart.

Across the bottom of the dash...under the plastic door jam moulding and up the A-pillar of the car to the antenna if memory serves.

The only touchy part of doing an antenne is dealing with the headliner which is generally old and tears easily.
