Power antenna mast broken, need help finding new one

Hey everyone, as some of you know I have a power antenna on the trunk of my 93 Civic coupe. I just replaced the entire unit about 2 months ago because the internals went on the old unit. I replaced it with a Roadworks universal antenna (essentially a Harada).

Well, today my friend managed to bend the mast when he opened my trunk (the spoiler hits it when you open the trunk with the radio on). It's got a bad bulge in it now preventing it from going all the way down.

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement mast in the North York/Woodbridge area? I can't use my trunk now without damaging the antenna so I want to fix it ASAP.

Thanks everyone!

Well thanks for all the replies everyone *sarcasm*

I did tonnes of calling, driving around and research on my own today and ended up buying a whole new unit (not as good as the one I have) for $80 and just transferring the mast from the new one onto my better unit.

As a safety precaution for the future I'm also going to be putting a manual on/off switch on the antenna (from some parts I purchased from the local Radio Shack) that will allow me to keep the antenna in the down position when the radio is on -- or when I have people putting things in the trunk. It's the ideal solution... especially for me since I rarely ever use the tuner on my radio... CDs or nuttin!
