Screwed up antenna

I totally screwed up pulling the old broken antenna out of my 90 Civic sedan by not attaching something to the end of it before I pulled it out. :loser: Now when I try to fish the new one back down the pillar, it is hitting on something toward the bottom of it. It is SOOO tight in the kick panel area I can't get my hand in there to find the hole where it comes out to see if I can grab it or feel for it. Does anybody have a suggestion on how I get this fixed? :confused: Thanks.

Clothes hanger up through the A-pillar and then pull the antenna down.

Thanks for idea. That is exactly how I wound up getting it in. :smile:
