where has it snapped off?, the mondeo aeriel masts should screw off the base, so if there is a bit of the aeriel left you should be able to just replast the mast.

Have you tried drilling into the end of the broken thread and using an eeziout? I think the thread is only brass so should be easy to drill.

easy to drill, but akward to drill straight when the base is in the middle of the roof.
