antenna grinding
Most antennas have a clicking sound while going down and it gets stuck at times.. I think that is caused by the Mast.. mine use to do that.. but now while it goes down... it has a loud grinding noise which really irritates me.. doesnt go down all the way eithor.. is it the Mast or is it the motor dieing?? Thanks for the help :happysad:

mast, the "cable" is a plastic track that winds in and out on the gear, sounds like has stripped the teeth of the cable. you can but just the mast from most auto parts stores for around 20-30 bucks, and from experience i can tell you the dealer will get atleast 50.00 for it, holla if you need help replacing it or do a search, i think i've done a thread on the install before.

Yeah, mine broke and Acura wanted $320 for teh whole assembly. I just went down to the auto store and picked up a new mast for $15. It is pretty easy to fix and is much better than listening to that damn grinding noise.

get an S2000 style antenna. IMHO, they are not as hideous as the 3 foot long stock antenna..... they are cheap on ebay too. got mine for 30 bucks shipped to hawaii!! mast and all.
