can i just buy the little gears inside the power antenna? One of them is broken, the one with a larger and smaller gear attached to the same chunck of plastic that goes to to the drive motor.

 

not from Mazda---hit the wreckers yard for a mid -1990 Mazda sedan

 

alright i'll keep that in mind. is there a way to find out which use the same antennas?

for now i stuck this rubber atrocity on the back from walmart, i guess its tolerable.. about as tolerable as when the power antenna is up, unfortunately this one is always in the up position.

 

From what I have seen the motors and drives are the same--differences are length of rod,mounting etc. have a look for millenia,MX-3 or protege and it does not matter if the rod is broken since all you need are the gears,$5-10 should do it.

 

alright cool. ill see what i can find.
