Different power antenna problem (97 Coupe MKV)
Hello everyone!
I have an unusual problem with my power antenna.
When I turn on the radio, the antenna extends fine and the antenna motor stops. But when I turn off the radio, the antenna goes down and the motor keeps running while making a horrible noise.
Do I need a new antenna? A new motor? Or is there a fix for this?
Thank you, have a nice weekend

Sounds like the plastic teeth on the mast have damage and the motor is slipping.....clunk, clunk, clunk.

When it is running after it is all the way down is it making a "clunking" noise or just hearing the motor continue to run

I had to remove the antenna and motor completely, I could not, for the love of all that is Honda, get the mast out by itself.
It still wont come out.
It looks like the teeht on the cable has been gnawing on something down in it's housing as seen on the pictures.
Do I need an entirely new unit? Or is it supposed to look like that, and will a replacement mast be enough.
Last thing, HOW DO I GET THE DAMN MAST OUT?!

I found the culprit, it was one of the small gears that had been grinded away by the motor, went to a auto recycling facility, or what ever it's called, and found a car like mine with low milage, and it had a brand new looking antenna unit which I took off and installed.
Works like a charm now
