Hello,
While at the car wash, the attendant tried to remove my antenna and now it is apparently disconnected at the cable. Basically I can pull the antenna all the way out and there is about a one foot length of cable attached to it with a metal coaxial type cylinder at the end. This is where it must have gotten disconnected.
Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to reattach this cable. I'm not very mechanically or electrically inclined.
thanks in advance!

Inside your trunk on the lower left is a cover for the telephone unit. Remove the cover by prying off the four round fasteners. Two flat-bladed screwdrivers can be used for this. If you do not have a telephone installed, you should be able to see a metal box with a few connectors and wires attached theough the hole in the panel. The antenna cable plugs into that box.
