DO NOT force it . Have some one gently help the antena up as you turn on the radio, If it then go,s up all the way clean the shaft with alcohol.
tried that but felt something pop when pulling it up. It now extends by manually pulling it but it's disconnected from the internal cable. Motor never stops now. Pushing it down doesn't completely co down now. About 5" still up. ....guess it's time for a rebuild kit. I pulled the relay so the motor is off.DO NOT force it .
