2G Power antenna problems

[c5chris]

Anybody of you guys have problems with the power antenna malfunctioning? I am on my second OEM power antenna and it broke again this morning, having a lifespan of a matter of months since I installed it.

Anybody had replaced it with something different and had better results? Im just tired of little things breaking down when Im spending money on the big mods.

well..i know that if u have it up alot at high speeds and never clean it they seem to have problems....and if u listen to the radio alot its always up...also alot of ppl have had good result with the aftermarket ones..with warrenty hehe...later bro good luck

Hey bro. As a matter of fact, I rarely listen to the radio. I find myself rather listening to the engine sound, turbo whine and my Greddy Type-S - it's better than radio.

I actually clean the antenna when I do the car and use liquid silicone to lubricate it a little. I have no clue why these cars have the habit of starting little problems like that (leaks, broken moonrof, etc). It's very minor but it gets annoying when youre on the path of making your car a potent street/track car.

I guess a new antenna is the solution.

My Antenna died a few months ago. I simply shoved it down, and unplugged power to it, so it stays down. Eventually I will rip it out and get the hole for it patched up when I get new paint.

screw the antenna! i unclipped the harness for the antenna cause it looked sooo bad sticking streight up on my 2g. but i also listen to nothing but my CD's and my car.

well i don't have that highly admired piece of machinery but i do think its better witout an antenna dismissing my own. Anyway, besides its on its way to a fine potent racing machine who cares about FM radio. get satellight radio better anyway.
