Do I have to pull my antenna motor now? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

WARP TEN · 08-01-2012

I broke my antenna the other day, clipped off the offending part and crimped the remainder to keep the nylon ribbon up. Bought a mast replacement and as I was getting ready to fix it, turned the radio on and off and the nylon ribbon slipped out and got sucked into the motor. Turned on the radio again but that does not get it to come out. Am I now doomed to remove the antenna motor and repalce it out of the car? Or is there some way to fish it out from the top? If I have to remove it any simpler way than the proscribed method in the manual? I have looked at the solutions sections but they seem to be mostly mast replacement unless I looked in the wrong place. Thanks, Bob
