antenna on 1998 S70 needs replacement
I had a mast that got whacked in a car wash several years ago and my mechanic put in a new antenna and assembly at some ridiculous cost. Now the antenna suddenly won't come up. The motor spins, but nothing happens. I'm told new assemblies are $225 and salvage $75. This seems like a lot and we have 2 kids in college. Anything I can do to fix this without a whole motor replacement? I can hear it whirring, it is just that nothing happens!
I commute, and I need the news. :confused: |

Yes, putting a new antenna in is easy. You can also add a switch to stop the motor from going up and down every time you start the car.
