My car has a broken power antenna. I want to replace it but when my mom had her 95 altima it broke all the time and had to get it fixed. I was just wondering if there were any alternitive antennas, but I dont want the rubber kind that you can get at wally world.

 

antennae? believe me, there are plenty of threads discussin this same topic, trust me donating would really save you and everyone time as for power antenna, yes they tend to break a lot.

 

accept the search is broken... or was! As far as antenna's - you can usually expect that it is the plastic "rope" inside the antenna is broken - it has teeth on one side and is flat on the other side. This is only probably true if you can hear the motor trying to extend/retract the antenna. If not, you can get a replacement assembly off of ebay to last you a while....

 

I dont have power running to the motor all I have hooked up is just the antenna so I can listen to the radio but its staticy.

 

I've replaced mine with a standard antenna (non-power) from metra. I soldered on a standard antenna connection and put on the $11 metra black antenna and it works fine.

 

looks lke the mast is available form the dealer for $50

 

I replaced the mast twice and then just left the antenna in the fully extended position after the second one broke. It's a pretty easy replacement once you understand how it works.
