Power Antenna
I pulled a power (retractable) antenna out of an 89 camaro and tested it out. The motor runs, but the antenna mast does not move and is stuck in the up position. I think the problem is that the mast is bent and the retracting cable or whatever pulls it down may be broken.
Is there a fix for this? Also, how can I get the mast out of the base?
Thanks

Re: Power Antenna
Top Down Solutions has a kit for that. Common problem. I have a 89 GTA antenna just like that.

Re: Power Antenna
More than likely, the cable inside is broke. Apparently, I was mistaken about TDS...
But a search on TGO does wonders. Did you search?
