Power antenna problem
Power antenna problem Seems to be stuck 'up'.
Motor makes noise but won't go down. I've had a problem before of it not going all the way down (would collapse down to the last stage, but not go flat) when it was cold sometimes but I could push it down before. Now it doesn't budge from being all the way up, and it won't move when I try to push it down.
Anyone got any ideas? Thinking about going with the BitViper antenna...

I researched for a while before I decided to replace my antenna with an aftermarket part. That was a bad mistake. If you replace it, make sure you buy the factory part. Aftermarket antennas are a HUGE headache. You're probably looking at about $100 for a factory antenna.
Or you could just leave it like it is. At least its stuck up! There's nothing worse than being on a long drive without being able to tune in the football game!
That's a common problem. GM recommends rubbing the antenna with mineral spirits and it works for me. I usually only get the problem when its exposed to road salt.
I do have one section that has corroded so bad, it has finally fused together - so I'll be buying a new mast. Its replaceable and you don't need to put in a new motor, etc.
