Antenna hole diameter?
So my antenna mast has been broken since I bought my '93 LS, I swiped a solid antenna off a Grand Am that was headed for scrap, with it plugged in and just laying in the trunk my reception is great. So now I want to remove my factory antenna and plug the hold with a black rubber plug/grommet.......does anyone know the diameter of the hole?

Ya, something like that would work, but I'd just leave the busted antenna how it is, it looks better than duct tape, I just don't like it. I'll just pull it out and measure the hole.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks, found the thread, but what I want to do is totally remove the antenna assembly. I'm going to take it right out and want to plug the hole in the body, I have another antenna connected right now and it works great sitting in the trunk.
I'm planning to take out the assy this weekend and try to find a plug for it once I measure the hole.

The hole is close to 7/8" or 22mm. I went to my local hardware/auto parts store and they had nothing, so I tried the grommet from the '01 Grand Am donor car and it fit perfect! I stuck the antenna in there but left the whip off so not its at least sealed from water.
Btw, anyone using the factory antenna should be aware that the antenna base is not a grommet at all, but a piece of plastic with a rubber seal on the bottom. In my case the seal was totally flat and there was rust inside the hole (otherwise rust-free car). So if you still have the OE part-you may want to check the inside of the quarter panel for rust or signs of water leaks.
