Re: My Antenna

Be more specific. The antenna mast or motor broke? you can get oem mast for ~50$ and use the old motor. If you need the whole thing, cheapest is probably someone parting out a max or a junk yard.

If your antenna motor still work but the mast doesn't go up/down all the way, remove the antenna. The two common problems with antenna is after a while, the grease inside collects dirt which cause the mast on the antenna to jam up. The other problem is the plastic white rope-like part that push or pull the antenna is either bent, broken, or worn out. For maxima, the rope-like part have grooves on them that sblime into the motor gear.
If the inside is dirty, just clean it and put new grease in and it should work fine. If the mast is broken, replace it. I asked the dealer and they want $35 If anyone can find it cheaper let me know.
