Hey guys, I searched for a similar problem to my antenna but i didn't find anything, so i decided to start a thread on it. Everytime i turn the car on or off, the antenna automatically goes up and down, naturally. The thing is that it makes a loud noise when going up and down. I'm not sure if its a mechanical problem or if the thing needs to be oiled. Incase its a mechanical problem, does anyone know how much it is to get it replaced? Can I use one of those universal ones in any auto store ? Thanks in advance guys.

well the cheep way to stop it is to just disconect it. all you have to do is remove the interior cover and its self explanitory. Idn how much a new one is cause mine does the same thing its prob. just the gears in it that are stripped but it might help if you oil the antenna part of it but it prob. wont do anything. your best bet is to just buy a new one. dont bother with a used cuz it will end up doin the same thing sooner or later its a common problem. call your local dealer to see how much a new one isHellz yeah im now workin at HONDA -
"If you wanna get a replacement antenna that doesnt move. Well, this is my opinion so im just givin you ideas. I would let the old antenna be there. You can pull the tip up a bit or any height and TADA! a working antenna that doesn't move. What it higher? Pull it up. Want it lower? Push it down. Thats what I did on mine , I just disconnected the power that moves the antenna up and down. Now its a manual antenna."
That's what i read in another post. Does anyone know where I disconnect this power? I figured it might be in the antenna motor, but a friend suggested that it could be near the ignition wires or the battery. Does anyone know exactly where I can find it?Comment

As for me i think it looks stupid when the antenna is up all the way. so i just popped out the stereo and cut the wire so that it doesnt get any power to raise it or lower it. its a little bit easier than taking out the trunk panel to get to it IMO.Comment

the best thing for you would be is to get a stubby antenna and attach a antenna signal amplifier....its probably going to be cheaper than a full antenna assembly...plus it looks way better
IMO
disclaimer: FM signal amplifiers will only work on weak antennas...otherwise it may over amplify the signal and cause unpleasant static.
