gotta bit** about this
sorry all, but i have to vent. I was coming out of the garage when the gate came down on my car, wacked it really good and tore my anntena right off!
Is there anyway i can get the own of the garage to pay for the repairs? where it came down and draged along isn't a problem, just some plastic from the pvc pipe rubbed onto the paint and came right off when I rubbed my finger over it, no dent (thank god) But my antenna is bent all the way back at the base!!! |

Ouch, sorry to hear about that. My mother had a similar situation involving a railroad crossing gate... that was her own dumb fault for trying to run it though.

At least the repair is fairly inexpensive, around $37 for a new mast at the dealer, last I heard. The garage owner shouldn't kick too much over that.

$37? think again, when I first got my car, the one thing that was wrong with it was the antenna mast was completely missing. It ended up costing me $130 something, it seems its not just the metal mast they have to replace but the entire assembly, some plastic cord runs up the whole thing and you have to rewire it so the mast can go up and down.

I currently can get some stations, but it's stuck in the up position. and the reception on some of my non local stations is really bad. I'm going to go yell at DPS (the office that handles all the parking/traffic stuff over here) and see if I cant get some $ out of them. |

The cord does not use gears, only friction as far as I can tell. The mast I helped to replace did not have any teeth on either the old or new part. Your biggest problem will be getting the old cord out if it's snapped, but at this point, it couldn't hurt to use a pair of needle nose pliers. Get the broken pieces out now and cover up the hole to prevent any further problems from developing while you wait for the replacement. Unless the base has been damaged, a new mast is all you need.
