Replacing S40 Antenna........ S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Bill S. on  Fri Jan 30 08:28 CST 2004 [RELATED]

During our last -24 below zero Vermont artic blast, my antenna got frozen and wouldn't go down, and as would have it my wife and I went into Burlington to do some shoping AND some idiot broke my antenna, plus a few others ^%#Q*^&%Q*&%!! So, whats it going to cost me, and can I do it myself???? I am thinking of just replacing it with just a good old whip antenna.........maybe, Bill. Other than that I'm just shy of 90k and the car runs like new!

You might be able to replace the mast of the antenna.

I haven't looked at my S40, but on my other car my antenna won't move, so I plan to unscrew the top nut (at the base of the antenna) and replace the mast.

Replacing S40 Antenna........ S40-V40 2003

I too am having problems with my antenna. It's been cold this year in NJ and my antenna too has froze a few times. Before I get in my car, I try to clear it off, having a power antenna a few years back on another car I owned (which too broke). Now I get a very loud banging sound when it raises and lowers completely. Has anyone replaced their antennas with a rubber/flex mounted one or totally installing a new power metallic antenna?
