Default Antennae connection repair

So I was removing my stock headunit out of the way today so I could reach some wires with the ac unit. When I went to put the radio back in radio didnt work. Take the dash all back apart and realize the antennae wire isn't plugged in. I find the wire and go to plug it back in when i see the very tip is bent sideways. Great. So in short antennae connector is broken and i need a easy/cheap fix to repair it. Any help please?

Ok so since I've not gotten any replies to the question maybe someone can chime in with an idea that was given to me today. I was told by a friend that you can buy just the male ends for the factory radio and just solder/crimp that onto the wire and just cut off the old connector. Has anyone else done this before? I wouldn't mind that as it seems to be a very easy fix.

Seems like a good idea. Gotta find a stock on tho. The aftermarket are a bit bigger/smaller and wont fit.

I don't recommend just cutting the old one right off. Cut the rubber casing and see whats inside. If theres a few wires make sure the one you are replacing it with is the same. Thats about it. I'm sure its not too hard!
