If the antenna is bent and won't retract fully, first, carefully try to straighten it by hand, being cautious not to apply too much force that could cause further damage. If it doesn't retract after straightening, check for any obstructions or debris in the mechanism. If the problem persists, consider consulting a professional for repair or replacement, as forcing it could lead to more significant issues.

How to fix Oldsmobile alero antenna?

To fix an Oldsmobile Alero antenna, first, inspect the antenna for any visible damage or corrosion. If the antenna is broken or bent, you may need to replace it; this typically involves unscrewing the base and installing a new one. If the antenna is electrically malfunctioning, check the wiring and connections for any loose or frayed wires. Finally, ensure the antenna motor (if equipped) is functioning properly by testing it with the radio on.

Why does an antenna make a loud noise and not go down?

Either the antenna itself is sticking because it is corroded or the motor gear is stripped. If it is the former then greasing/oiling it followed by easing it up and down may free it. If it's the latter - you will need a new motor.

Where can you buy a replacement antenna for a 1990 Jaguar?

It will be a dealer's item try antennaworld.com I have seen them on Ebay for $17. The actual antenna mast with the toothed strap that extends on the bottom and makes the antenna go up and down is rather easy to replace if it is just bent. If there are pieces of the toothed strap broken inside the antenna assembly or the round gear that moves the strap is worn you need to open the antenna housing up and look inside fish the broken bits out and check the gear for signs of wear if the round gear is worn look for a whole new asembly on Ebay as the gear cannot be found (at least I have not been able to). Whomever sels the replacement mast will supply the installation steps. bassicaly you feed the toothed strap from the mast into the hole the gear will cach it and wind it down properly. Just turn the radio on and off a few times and the antenna will get itself leveled properly...

How do you replace a 1994 Honda Prelude antenna?

You would need to get a tool to remove the notched chrome piece that holds the antenna mast, or carefully use pliers to unscrew it out. After you remove that, the antenna itself is held by a 10mm bolt. to get to it you'll need to open up the trunk lining near the antenna location and remove that bolt. Then, pull the antenna far enough to disconnect the antenna wire and power. Assuming the antenna motor is still functional, you can then replace the antenna mast with a new one. Or, you can install an aftermarket rubber antenna.
