Antenna Help

[Jushiko]

So, my antenna is bent in half. It's a power antenna, and I called Safe & Sound (Possibly local audio/safety guys) and they said it would cost $80 to replace the antenna, and $95 for labor. The antenna never retracted in the first place, and I don't really mind. Is there any other more cost-effective way to fix my antenna? Like welding or even soldering? Any and all help is appreciated.

See if you can take out the whole antenna, most just screw out. If you can get it out just buy a replacement one.
