power antennas on ebay

Fellers,

Has anyone tried replacing their power antenna with ones I've seen on ebay for $24.95? My antenna stays up about 4". Or is there an easy maintenance i can do to get the antenna to close?

there's a procedure you can do to clean the "mast" and apparently it has fantastic results. i'm not sure where to point you, but you could start by looking in the how-to locker and searching for "antenna mast cleaning"

Run your mast up and down a few times with a rag that is dampened with WD-40. Works well to clean and lube the mast.

I wouldn't recommend one of those aftermarket units unless I was really that hard up to spend the few extra dollars for an OEM unit.
