replacement ariel advice please ? was created by slucas

Hi folks,
I have an 06 plate JLX and the kindly souls at the car wash have bent the aerial for me

It's the original, somewhat fragile one, so I need to replace it and wondering if anyone can offer me some advice/point me to a suitable replacement (shorter if possible ?)
I know it's a bit of a mare to replace, so would sooner put something a bit better on.
Thanks in advance
Simon

Replacing it not such a big issue so long as you attach some cord to the stereo end of the coaxial cable before you remove the Ariel. You then use the cord to pull the new Ariel coaxial cable into place. Without this simple step it's as you say a mare.
Since I've been on this forum only ever seen a 3D printed option that's specifically offered for the Jimny. It appears you can get a base for about £12 ( fit your own Ariel) or complete for about £40.
Not sure if anyone else offers similar, this is the result of my first Google search.

After that it's aftermarket universal or original. Sure someone will have made something fit, so if you can wait they will be along.
