Stopped at the salvage yard today.
They had a total of 4 Bonneville, 3 in the 96-99 and 1 in the 2000+
My power antenna has not worked in a good year, so I found a new one.
But wait, I also found something else. Hmmm, what could I be planning to do with these?
Out with the old antenna
One bolt, one ground cable and wiggle it down.
Transfered over the relay and plugged in everything, then put it in place.
All bolted in and hooked up.
Ta da, a working power antenna again. Took me all of 5 minuets.

A bit warm in the shop. I think I need to go out and find a nice big floor fan.
In case you haven't figured it out, this is the project.
I roughed in the holes.
Then cleaned them up a bit.
And got it all lined up.
Now, I still have a ways to go here. Need to clean up the holes a bit more, then glue them in place. then glass it all up and Bondo it smooth. I will then texture paint it and get it to match my car. If all goes well, I may have this in my car Wednesday.
Now, I'm sure your wondering, Why does he have extra A-pillars? Well, I'll tell you why. Because I plan to make extras. Right now I have 2 96-99 and 1 2000+ If you want one made, just shoot me a PM. These will be $75 for a 2 pod, and $85 for a 3 pod plus a $25 core charge that you will get back as soon as you send back your old A-pillar. The only thing you will need to do is paint it to match your cars color.
