Power Antenna
Hey guys,
I was checking my car out in the garage for the winter, and the antenna is sticking and wont come out. Can you help me with a solution on fixing this?

The above link is the one I would get if I were you. I took my old unit out last weekend and needed to get one in due to it being a daily driver. I went to Autozone and got the Metra they sell. So far, its working like a charm.
I was going to just try and repair mine, but another member here kinda pushed me to just replace because you repair one thing now, next month the motor will probably go. My motor was working, but the antenna would not go up/down. I did take it apart to find the heavy duty plastic cord was broken.
