What do you guys use to grease your power antenna? I use white lithium grease and I have to reapply it once every 3-4 weeks during the wet season. I was thinking about using teflon spray...

kencopperwheat, any lube that doesn't hold dust should work.

first you have to turn it on so it's up all the way, then use your lube in a smooth up & down motion, gradually getting faster

Just unplug it from the back of the deck. Or unplug the antenna in the trunk.Originally posted by randomtask37Originally posted by GrueliusComment

But I lost the little key that allows my CD deck to come out :oops: .Originally posted by GrueliusComment

just pull back your trunk liner under your antenna and find the power wire that connects to it, then just yank it off. If you listen to the radio then don't do this...i unplugged mine because i don't listen to the radio and my antenna wasn't stock so it rose up like 6ft. It looked real gay.Originally posted by randomtask37Comment

The PO of my car wired a circuit breaker switch to the antenna - it's right in the dashboard.
It kicks ass. I usually have the antenna off, depends on the clarity of the signal. If I need to hear the radio, I'll put the antenna up. Or, vice versa.
Seems like it was pretty simple though. ;)- Sean HayesComment

Dont grease it with anything! The reason they get stuck is because people put a bunch of lube onto them, and then every spec of dust that goes on it sticks in the oil and just makes a bunch of sandy oil mud all over the thing.
Clean it thouroughly, and once in a while just turn it so the wind blows it and bends it back in the opposite direction.Adam Fogg- '88 M3
