Any idea where to buy a rebuild kit for the antenna ?

[roadkill73]

Havent used my radio or antenna in a few years. Today I turned on the radio and the antenna wouldnt go up. The motor kept running even when I shut off the engine. Finally got it to shut off when I disconnected the wire under the passenger side dash.

Anyway, I assume a new one is no longer available ?

Where can I get a rebuilding kit from and how hard is it to remove and rebuild it ?

Thanks in advance.

I rebuilt my antenna on my 1982 Trans Am about 5 years ago. I bought the kit from A GM dealer. It wasn't that hard. The inner fender needs to be partially removed. There is a special wrench to take off the antenna. Once you have it out, it really is relatively straight forward. I think the kit had instructions with it.

I believe I used the GM kit from what I remember, it should still be available.
