Anyone know what this is?
Looked on top of my recently purchased new Thor Compass 24TX, and I found this item in this condition. My radio reception is awful, and this appears to be located where there might have been an antenna. The Mercedes clearly has an antenna in the windshield though.

Looks like an antenna mount for a roof mounted radio antenna.

Looks like a BROKEN roof mount antenna. I bet your radio is hooked to the roof mount and since it's broken that's why your reception is bad.

It definitely is your AM/FM antenna base. Before it was damaged it had a 12 to 16 inch antenna screwed into it.

This. Mine looks like that, but with an antenna screwed into it.

The antenna from Thor is usually one of the flexible "rubber ducky" kind, about a foot long. You can get a replacement antenna at most auto parks stores assuming your roof mount isn't to badly damaged.

I never remember seeing an antenna there, but it is definitely not going to hold one now. Thank you all for replying.

If you can locate the Mercedes antenna maybe you can hook to it. In the mean time be sure your broken antenna is going to leak if it rains!

I'd expect if you match the thread and your base is intact - it should work fine... If it just 'fell off' - then that should be the case.
This would typically be the first point to hit a low hanging branch - before you take the A/C and vents off the roof...
