Please advise:
The power antenna goes up and down fine, only problem is that once it goes up a horrific grinding sound of the gears occurs (stripping). Obviously a 2 cent plastic part is broken.
One shop is telling me $335 for the work, another said I had to remove the fender. I'm thinking a replacement with a regular "mast" antenna may cut down the cost.
Do I have to take off the fender to access the power antenna? Is there a trick to this? Anyone have this problem? How much should this cost? Should Ford do it or a body shop?
Thanks for the help,
