The power unit is dying, and has had the mast replaced once
already. I have a manual, locking unit I got on Ebay; if that's
easy to mount I'll do so. Otherwise I plan to raise the power
unit, then unplug the power supply. How do I get to it? I assume
that there is a cover in the cargo area... if you would be
willing to email me a photo of the cover, with fasteners
highlighted, I'd appreciate it. Even better, considering that
Winter seems to be here already, in the Northeast: does this
thing have its own fuse...?

I'm not sure why you'd need a photo of the cover when you have the vehicle
right in front of you. Here's a link that might help:

My son's 1996 wagon's got the same problem. We haven't poked around the
antenna yet, but my first guess would be that you might be able to remove
the spare tire and reach under the floorboard to access the antenna. MAYBE.

I'm trying to avoid the worst of the learning curve on this,
by finding someone who has actually done the job. Thanks for the
link, though. I wanted a photo of the cover with whatever
fasteners there that actually need to be removed highlighted.

Did you check the online manual I pointed out?

It choked downloading - and I have DSL! What I saw, though,
didn't give things like access panel info. It seems to be little
better than the Haynes manual.
