Antena gettting stuck?
 

Well, my antena has been noisy since the day I got my car. The other day when I was washing my car, I leaned on the house to see the beauty shine, and I noticed my antena had not gone down. I just smiled, said "Great", turned the key on, then back off, and it went down. What should I do, this is anoying. Stays up everytime I turn the car off, then I turn the key on and off again and it goes down...:bang:HELP!!!

Mine goes about 3 quarters of the way down and stops now.. :(

Does anyone know what causes this, the motor seems to be working fine. Is there a gear the getting stripped...

Yes -> The paint on the mast starts coming off and it "gums" things up. Exposure to road salt seems to make the problem worse and I often get the problem after long road trips in winter weather.

The intermediate fix is to use a rag to apply mineral spirits to the mast. That and a couple of cycles up/down and the problem should clear it up for the summer, at least. (At this point, you'll probably need to do the mineral spirits thing about once a year.)

If the fix above doesn't work, (or over time the mineral spirits isn't enough to keep it going) you can get a new mast for the motor. Part # 10256439 (Comes with instructions.)

Thanks! Even though I feel stupid now. When I first noticed I went and looked at the mast and saw a bunch of stuff in the joints, I thought it was some kind of grease. Well, I think you can tell how much mine is stopped up.
