power antennae question

Mine was making horrible noises and now it finally went out. Anyone know of any writeups on how to change out the motor? Anyone want to sell me one?

Re: power antennae question

I don't think you can replace the motor. I think you have to buy the whole thing.

Re: power antennae question

Anyone else agree with moparman? I could have sworn I've read about people replacing the motor. Also, what is this "mast" that people talk of...

Re: power antennae question

I'm pretty sure you have to replace the whole thing. I think the motor can be swapped out its just no place sells it separately that i know of. The mast is the antenna itself.

Gotcha, thanks for the info. So you can swap a new motor in there, but they're hard to find, gotcha..

Re: power antennae question

I've never seen how the power ants work on f-bods, but if it's like others i've seen, it's possible that just the mast broke and those are usually pretty cheap to replace. LIke i said, i don't know, but it's worth checking into.
