I picked up my 95 twin turbo this last thursday,(I'll get some pictures on here in the next couple of days) and one of the only problems with it is the antenna won't go up. Is there some way to fix this or does it need to be replaced. If it does need to be replaced then does anyone have any info on how to do it, how difficult it is, and where to find a new one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Aaron

Its a pretty simple operation to replace it. They have a good walkthrough on the TT site. A new antenna motor which it probly is and antenna will run you about 150 dollars US. But they are easy to replace, and shouldnt take you more than a hour if you take your time. You may want to see if its the motor or if the antennas bent. Mine is slightly bent, 120MPH with antenna up is bad, and it wont go all the way down unless I push it the rest of the way down. I dont even listen to the radio anymore becuase of a list of reasons, one of which is all the stations here in the Charolette area SUCK!

yeah listen to your elders ^^^^. just jokin' hodo...

simple procedure, just remove your plastic pieces in the hatch and then you can see the motor right there. you should be able to see what your doing just from looking at it. good luck...any questions, just fire away. :D

hey guys i have an antenna problem, but im pretty sure its the damn antenna and not the motor

i can just buy a new antenna and install it right, theyre 40$ just the antenna, but might as well get this one its cheaper

can you keep it from lighting up??? :lol: but anyways...yeah. all you would have to do to install that is remove the existing hardware and then replace the empty whole with that, if it is made to fit that whole.
