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

 

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

 

I had a look around their site and couldn't find any antenna repair stuff. Do you have the link to it?

Also, is it actually just a problem in the mast?

Thanks

 

More than likely, the cable inside is broke. Apparently, I was mistaken about TDS...

But a search on TGO does wonders. Did you search?

Thanks for the info. I did do a search and it came up with nothing (blank page). I found it kinda odd that no one had posted on this before. I just did the same search and got a bunch of results, guess I tried the search during either a site problem or my internet problem.

Thanks again
