Default replacing radio antenni

...snapped off in the car wash and a standard replacement will not work?

Is this a dealer item? UHG! It has a long arm that attaches to the braket that holds the spare tire...

the mast repair kit includes the mast and the nylon guide ( its the thing that drives the mast up and down from the motor and it usually breaks ) .......so your motor must be working

thanks.

Mine does not look like that.


Mine does not have a motor and the factory bracket goes from the spare tire brakcet to the top of the fender... the ONLY electric wire is the antenna wire to the radio and it is female not male

if you want it to look stock you will have to get a GM replacement......to many variables in a aftermarket......and i believe you have the wiring already in place if you want to convert to electric
