Hey, I have a 99 GLE and the attenna does not go all the way down. This is an issue that needs to be fixed. The attenna still goes all the way up when I turn the radio on, but stops about 6 inches from going all the way down. Before I break it worse, any good links or tips on replacing/fixing ?
Thanks

No, I have had the car in a garage for awhile, frozen is not the problem, even tho i live in a cold *** country.

If it aint frozen, Then replace the ant mass. It should cost about 30 bucks and about 5 min to install.

maybe there is a small bent on the antenna and that is why it gets stuck, inspect it, and look for bents...the replace it, also maybe the plastic cable (inside) broke and that is the max the cable goes in...
for either of the two, you have to replace the mast....

maybe its just stupid like mine was when i first got it and it got cold i noticed it kept getting stuck like that so i shoved it down with a little force, it didnt go up for a day but from the next day on it worked perfect

lol, i thought about jamming that thing in there. Do u replace it from the inside of the trunk? like remove the panels from the trunk, and its easy?
