Does anyone have any fix for power antenna'* in cold weather. It was 5 at my house this morning and it will be below 0 over the winter. When it gets really cold my power antenna either won't extend fully or won't retract fully. Is there any fix for this?

oil up the antenna mast

my antenna doesnt go up EVER, never did, never will


oh yeah, the 00+ antenna is built into the windshield....

u can go to a dealer and get some oil for it for very cheap

it used to happen to me, but then i oiled it, and it hasn't happened for about a year and a half now

Don't go to the dealer for that oil. Use ANY light oil (not WD-40, it'* not oil).

In severe cases, you may need to drill out the rivets in the antenna assembly, open, clean, and re-grease as well.

BTW...don't try to find rivets that big. Just use bolts.

Gotcha, so like Marvel or a teflon oil is ok?

x50??

yeah mine failed cause I used wd-40. (got dirt and dust in there and broke something)

Same antenna as in the 92-99 bonnevilles.

PERFECT. I raise the antenna and hold a rag behind it to prevent overspray. Then spray and wipe at the same time. Just did both of mine and driverjohn'* a few days ago.

Safer from overspray = saturate the rage REALLY well. Then wipe downward. Do this a couple times, and let it sit for a minute or two. Then lower the antenna, raise it, and wipe again.

Here'* why:

WD-40 was designed as a Water Displacing (WD) solvent. It attracts contaminants. Dust, grime, etc. Then it evaporates, leaving nothing but the crud behind, and has no lubricant properties whatsoever at this point.
