Are you talking the antenna itself or the wire?

I would think the wire, but why do you need to replace everything?

I did not think I could replace the antenna cable only, the plug fell apart due to rust. I tried to use a cable extention, it works but reception is not good.

Just get a new one but before you pull out the old one, tape or tie a string to it to lead the new antenna cable where you want it to go.
