Power antenna motor brushes - do you know of any other gm cars with same ones inside?

So I just spent $40 for a new plastic mast and it resolved the issue of the never-stopping motor. Unfortunately during reassembly, I noticed one of the brushes is completely worn out, to the point that the brush pad itself is gone.

So I can go find a broken antenna at the junk yard but I am wondering if anyone knows of a particular (and hopefully common) vehicle that had the same brush/switch assembly inside.

Thanks

GM used that same basic power antenna design for around 20 years. Anything from the late 70's to the mid '90s should have what you need.

Any electric motor rewinder should be able to give you a brush that will work.
