You might as well replace the aerial with a new one. They are so cheap
and the time taken to fit a new one would be exactly the same as it
would be to make a lash up repair.
That would be a practical response *IF* one could find an exact
replacement. Alas, there are thousands of different varieties of these
things, and they tend to be custom-designed for each model. Even
if there were exact replacements in a warehouse somewhere in
central Asia, finding one and getting it shipped to you would be
far less pratical than just tossing the radio and buying a new one.
The OP said it was a Sony. Parts should be readily available for such a
major brand. That said, most of these aerials are pretty much the same
shape and size on even the cheapest brand.
How many of these have you repaired yourself?
Or are you guessing? I'm speaking from first-hand experience.
