This just happened, and it is too cold for sealants to stick or cure! Glad I had the slide in!

I had the antenna get hit by something blew a giant hole in the front. Garbage bags and duct tape to the rescue. Unfortunately you are forced buying the whole antenna.
Eternabond tape will stick in the nastiest of conditions (been there done that), just warm it inside and have everything prepped. Warm the area gently before applying, once it goes down, it's pretty much there for life.Joseph

x2 on "tarp the whole area" until you can sort out repairs and replacement parts. Put a pillow over the antenna dome to prevent sharp corners from cutting the tarp. Tie the tarp securely to ground level at the suspension.

Heat gun and eternabond tape worked like a champ.
I ordered another antenna and will be able to pull it inside to do the replacement. Not worth bothering with insurance as the repairs at not major or costly and there's no damage to the sides amazingly.2021 Reflection 278BH

Removing the sealant on the old antenna was a major pain even with the heat gun. Be patient. If you don't have the Butyl tape, order some to use under the antenna.Joseph
