STOP
Don't go pulling your boot apart!!!
You can get replacement poles from places like Strathfield for about $20 (from memory) and are easy to replace.
1. With the radio off unscrew the bezel (nut atop the arial assembly) from the outside of your car, a pair of circlip pliers would be handy or insert an allen keys into each hole and use a screwdriver to twist gently (as low as you can get it) while bracing the allen keys with your other hand.
2. Have an assistant turn on the Radio, guide the arial up and it should pop out all by its self (remember which way the teath go).
3. Their is a sleave on the post with a rubber end that will need to be fitted to the new aerial, remove it and keep it safe.
4. Extend the new pole half way and insert the plastic center with the teath the right way around.
5. Have your assistant turn off the radio while you guide the new pole into place (if the pole doesn't line up turn the radio back on and try again).
6. With the new post down re-fit the sleave from step 3 then replace the bezel and test.
