just use your hands, it comes right off. :):):) j/k
I guess its been on the car for a long time, and its a bit rusty. Usually its suppose to come right off with your hands. Just spray more WD-10 and let it sit for a day.

Well you can try removing the antenna base from the car. You can find the instructions HERE. Once the base is off the car you might have better luck removing what is left of your antenna.
That might work, keep us posted.

haaha funniest discussion ever about a shorty antenna. but you could have done one thing when removing it, you could have just cut the antenna 2/3's down and just put a cap back on it and have the oem one into a shorty, and you know no one will be able to steal it, heck, not even you can take it off too.

I was laughing so hard with most of the posts all weekend that I couldn't bring myself to tell you what to do and end the drama. I was just too funny.
