Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / September 2004'92 Power Antenna
Hi, my nissan's antenna is broken, only the antenna, I've checked the motor and it's ok but I went to a store and they offered me a "Metra Antenna for Aftermarket Nissan 92" (something like that) and it costs only $15.00 but i've read that the original antenna costs about $45. Is it this Metra antenna a good idea to buy?? and fully compatible with the original antenna?? Thanks in advance. > Hi, my nissan's antenna is broken, only the antenna, I've checked the motor > and it's ok but I went to a store and they offered me a "Metra Antenna for > Aftermarket Nissan 92" (something like that) and it costs only $15.00 but > i've read that the original antenna costs about $45. Don't know where you read that, but mine cost about $15 from a dealer. Just buy one from them.

Just > buy one from them. Where is this dealer? The last time I priced the mast for my '91 at the dealer, the price had just gone up from $45 to $60. You do realize he is talking about the powered antenna, not the stick? > Bill G > '91 SE Auto [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> the original antenna?? >> Thanks in advance. Two things: - The Metro antenna mast is not a direct replacement for the OEM mast if you are using the OEM motor. It will shoot right out the hole and fall in the street. - If the problem with the original antenna is that the plastic "string" that pulls it up and down is broken but the metal sections are not damaged, you can remove the center section from a Metro replacement mast (the string is connected to the center section) and replace that section into the original mast. The knob on the end will unscrew with a pliers. If this is you problem, however, you will find that the broken part of the string is still in the motor, which you will have to remove and partially disassemble to get the broken piece out. If you don't remove the broken part, there is not enough room in the motor housing for the new string to pull all the way down. > On 9/14/04 5:22 AM, in article > nDz1d.363697$OB3.328848@bgtnsc05-news.ops.worldnet.att.net, "Bill G" [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > dealer, the price had just gone up from $45 to $60.

I could be wrong. I'll try to get back to you with an answer tomorrow.
