lubing power antenna
ok so whats the general opinion on this.. dry grahite?? the stuff that comes in a spray bomb that is propelled by alcohol seems to be the best idea I think.
the problem; my power antenna doesn't go all the way down... it stops about two inches short.
any other ideas?

Re: lubing power antenna

Re: lubing power antenna
I was under the impression that a liquid/grease lubricant is something I should avoid since dust and dirt would stick to it compounding the problem.
The graphite spray uses alcohol which evaporates quickly.
I don't know what to do with it at this point, I've already replaced the antenna twice and I don't want to do it again.
