Antena motor

[steffs ws6]

Has anyone ever changed out a antena motor? Mine just went out on my 2000 ws6 , and was wanting to know if anyone had any tricks of the trade on how to go about fixing this problem? Or any sugestions on where to buy one?

Should be pretty simple. I put an aftermarket power antenna on mine since they didn't give us that option on the 99Z.

You have to take the spare tire out and there's a plate in the way if I remember right on your car. You've got to take out the screws to remove the plate and then you should have a pretty clear view of what you need to do to remove the antenna from there. It should just be screwed on to a mounting bracket and there's also probably a nut from the top side of the antenna that you'll have to do. The threading would be hidden, but there's probably at least two flat sides to it so you can grip it or use a wrench.

Honestly, not having done it, these are speculative instructions... but really it shouldn't be too complicated. If it is, take it to a shop and pay them to do it. LOL if it's too difficult to figure out, then you're obviously in management of some company and in that case you can afford to have someone else to do it. joking btw
