Hey guys,
The power antenna on my 2003 S40 does not go up/down all the way. It still retracts/ejects to some extent though, and the radio works, but this is not optimal either aesthetically or in terms of radio performance. The motor seems to work fine. I've tried removing the outside bolt but it seems to be almost completely stripped. Can I just brute force pull the antenna and put in a new one? Or should I instead remove the motor from the underside? I wouldn't want to damage the motor. Here's a video of it:
Can this be repaired/lubed or should I buy a new mast or motor? Thanks |
