So....I stupidly fumbled the antenna body as I was unscrewing it from the black trim piece in order to replace it with a working antenna. The antenna fell down into the rear pillar hollow on the wagon where it is attached (I hope I'm describing it correctly).

I've tried fishing it out using a straightened coat hanger with a slight hook at the end by getting the end of the hanger under the antenna and pulling it up until I can grab the antenna with needle nosed pliers. I've gotten very close but haven't been able to grab it out.

Dose anyone have a suggestion for a tool I could use or a particular technique I should try? I was thinking maybe using a magnet..somehow. Or maybe a really long, narrow set of needle nose pliers.

I feel really dumb. Serves me right for just "going at it" without reading or watching a video about what I was trying to do before I tried to do it. I guess I learned a valuable lesson and it (hopefully) isn't that big a deal to rectify.

Thank you as always for taking the time to provide a newbie some guidance and advice.
