Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged.
If the mast should ever become
slightly bent, you can straighten
it out by hand. If the
mast is badly bent,
as it might be by vandals, you should
replace
it.
Check every once in a while to be sure the mast is still
tightened to the fender.
Power Antenna Mast Care

it’s cleaned from time to time, To clean the antenna
mast:
1.

5.
6.
Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna.

equivalent solvent.
Wipe the cloth over the mast sections, removing any
dirt.
Wipe dry
with a clean cloth.
Make the antenna
go up and down by turning the
radio or ignition
off and on.
Then repeat
if necessary.
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication
could damage it.
NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off
your radio to make the power antenna go down.
This will prevent the mast from possibly getting
damaged.
If the antenna does not go down when
you turn the radio off, it may be damaged or
need
to be cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna by hand by carefully pressing the
antenna down.
If the mast portion of your antenna
is damaged, you can
easily replace
it. See your dealer for a replacement kit
and follow the instructions in the kit.
