I'm guessing you mean somebody snapped off your antenna off the back of the car. You should be able to just replace the mount on the back and put a new one on. If the mount is entirely gone then I think your going to have to unhook it from the back of the headunit. Pretty sure there isnt another disconnect anywhere between the antenna and the headunit. Not certain though.

So I'm guessing you dont want to run another antenna line. I just looked at my service manual and it appears that the wire is in fact crimped to that piece, I didnt look too hard but it appears that it is one solid line up to the dash unit.

If I was you I would trace the antenna line back from the antenna towards the head unit to physicly check if there is another disconnect
