Antenna

My car is an 00 WS6 and my antenna will come up about halfway and then make this weird grinding noise, and it does not go down at all. I can push it down, but after it goes all the way it makes this weird clunking noise going down. Any idea what's wrong and what do I need to do to fix it?

Sounds like the motor that controls it is going out.. I had this happen and so I just replaced it with a standard antenna.

That's ok for you, but I don't want my antenna sticking up all the time.

Why don't you get a 10 foot whip and then strap to the front bumper? You will probably pick up some good **** then!
