I looked in the How To's for replacing an antenna, but cant find one. On my dad's 95 GXE, the antenna doesnt move at all. Its stuck half-way up. The previous owner said he took it through a car wash.
Any idea on where to get one???
And are the directions the same as for a 3rd gen?? http://www.4dsc.com/articles/exterio..._antenna.shtml

you will need a new antenna mast assembly. It should be around $16 off ebay. You will need snap ring pliers to turn the nut where the antenna comes through the body. and you just pull out the rest of the mast and replace with the new one. I am going to do mine as soon as the weather gets better.

$35 is way too expensive. Search ebay for "Maxima antenna mast" - you should be able to find OEM pieces, with instructions, shipped for less than $20. I recently purchased on Ebay and replaced my mast when i left my radio on through the car wash.

ArcticDC5 is correct as long as your motor is still working? I even used pin nose pliers to remove the nut, it's not threaded but does require turning to get it out. Have the radio on, once the nut is pulled up, pull the old mast out, (Just make note of the old thread direction when removing)take off the generic nut from the replacement mast and re insert your stock one, place new mast thread in same direction as old , turn off radio and help new thread catch and you're done. . It's reeeeaally simple, did it two weeks ago, I got my mast from these guys:
