Car Forum / Mitsubishi Cars / June 2004Antenna 91 3000 GTSL
1991 3000GTSL. The antenna will not go down. I cannot even force it down. The motor seems fine .. turns on and off with the radio being turned on and off. I suspect the "tail" has broken off or come loose. The dealer wants $175 to repair it. They sell the antenna for $57.00. Is this an easy job? Can I do it myself? Your suggestions would be appreciated. Norm >1991 3000GTSL. The antenna will not go down. I cannot even force it >down.

It appears that the nylon cable broke off about an inch or two from the bottom. This is just a guess. I suspect that the broken portion is within the gear/motor housing. With the radio on and the motor "extended" I cannot see any nylon cable protruding from the housing. So .. if I am correct how do I remove the broken portion of the cable that is within the housing? Once that is done, replacing the antenna with a new one should be no problem. Thanks. Norm I'm not 100% sure with your antenna, but on my '88 Starion, the housing coming apart and you can remove the broken piece. My Starion antenna housing appeared to have worn and wouldn't grab the new whip very well. I ended up finding a good used one. Before buying the new mast, take your old housing apart and check for abnormal wear. Rich > >1991 3000GTSL. The antenna will not go down. I cannot even force it > >down.

The worse part was removing the plastic interior panels in the back and keeping the screws together. 3SX in Charlotte NC..has the OEM masts in stock for about 35.00. You'll be as glad as I am that You took the chance and fix it. Why pay big bucks to a dealer for a job that can be done at home? > I'm not 100% sure with your antenna, but on my '88 Starion, the housing > coming apart and you can remove the broken piece.
