can you hear the motor running.
DOes it not stop running.

Honestly usually the easiest way for the antenna is just to replace it. ebay has tons of replacments.

the motor still runs, but i hear lots of grinding and such, the antenna is just stuck, i was also thinking about the ebay route, but thats another $50 that gonna come out of my wheels savings....

well, if you want it to work you should just place it. it is very easy to fix on your own. i just recently fixed mine because i was having the same problem.

does your antenna go up at all? you can always make it go all the way out and then disconnect the motor so it wont go down automatically

mine was acting up too. so i built my own. i used a short black universal one from autozone. put a bolt in the bottom of it, filed it down so it fit in the stock thing that sticks out of the car. works ok, looks so much better, cost me ten bucks.
