Nonmoving power antenna.

My power antenna died a few months ago, but it died standing up so I left it alone untill a few weeks ago.
Heres a pictoral:


Stuff I had to take off before I could remove fender.

Power antenna - was it a stock option, or did you install an aftermarket one ?

i'm assuming that's a factory power antenna? there's a mast repair kit for that: 4741282, it runs about 50 bucks if i remember right. it has the white "weedwacker" drive tape and the antenna mast.

Slonopotam: Its was OEM

For future reference, an easier way to get to the antenna motor it to take off the tire and then pull out the wheel well liner....

MUCH-MUCH easier that what you did.


Take your antenna motor to the local pick & pull.
Many vehicles have motors similar to that one.

I got a direct replacement out of a '95 Cadillac Sedan DeVille.
It was in the trunk, but the motor was an exact match - and it worked great!
It was made by AC Delco if I remember right.


Good Luck! :thumbup:
