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

Removing the antenna is not difficult.
It's held on with 2 8mm bolts, undo those from the bottom, then it pops out of the grommet in the rear quarter panel. The bracket, which mounts to the flange where the rear bumper cover meets the rear quarter panel, can stay in place, or if you wish to remove it for better access, it's held on with 2 10mm nuts.

You do not need to pull the motor. Re reading your post I see that you may have already bought a remast kit. Chances are the mast remainder was ground to a pulp when it went back inside. Try the remast remove the top nut with the tool. If I was a betting man it will work.

I disassembled the mast assmble then ground off the plastic tab so the two halves can be separated. Turned out the broken ribbon lodged in the white (translucent? can't remember) drum was not allowing the ribbon to spool completely. I ground off the plastic tab completely so that I can use sheet metal screws to re-join two halves, reattach the mast housing, reconnected electrical and had my wife turn the radio on then off. As soon as the motor engaged per off signal, I fed the new mast ribbon until the mast retracted completely. Close up the top w/ the nut and cycled on and off to make sure of proper operation. After that, it's just a matter of reinstalling the antenna. |
