Default Are the radio antenna's on a del sol power?

Just what the topic said, are the radio antenna's on del sol's power or are they manual. They look like the should be power but im not sure. Can anyone end my confusion?

There are power ones, and there are manual ones....

Mine had a broken manual one, so I replaced it with a manual one 'cuz it was cheaper, now it's just gone alltogethor .. shave it....

dEL SOL S - manual antenna
del sol Si - power antenna
Del Sol Vtec - power antenna

All power antennas after like 3-4 years get stuck and quit working

easiest way to fix is to replace....

however if it's power and just doesn't move smoothly you can try a spray graphite (lubricant) put a rag behind the ant (where your spraying) and have someone sit in the car turning the radio on and off and spray it while it is raising and lowering,

I also have my replacement manual all black ant. ( you manually pull it up and down) that I'll gladly ship and send ya...

If the lubrication doesn't fix it, just get an aftermarket manual from AutoZone. They look better IMO and they're a LOT cheaper than a new power one.
