Sick Power Antenna

My power antenna will no longer retract all the way. Any advice?

I just went to the local audio install place and told 'em what I needed.

Ant,
Can you hear the motor going? You probably don't need the whole assembly.

Everybody else,
I got one on ebay. It comes with instructions. I think I've heard you can get them from pepboys/autozone etc. but I'm not sure. It's probably not even that expensive from the dealer. I ended up having to take the motor assembly apart to get a piece of the thing that retracts the antenna, but it still wasn't that hard. You can PM me if you have a problem.

Yes actually I hear the motor going. Some a hole bent my antenna and now it doesnt go up or down... You can hear the motor going though and it sucks cuz now I dont get any reception on my radio.

Just get an antenna mast off eBay if you hear the motor going. Same thing happend to me. But, my radio reception is good enough without the antenna motor plugged in.
