This happened awhile ago.... but yah, I think its jammed.
My antenna when its go up, for some reason when it gets to a certain point (really really close to how far its suppose to stretch out) it suddenly makes this loud noise like... uhhh.... REHHHHHHHHHH! LOL ya... anyways The first time this happend, jumped outa my car and pulled up on it slightly and it stopped the noise and it worked as if nothing happend. Then when I put down the antenna, it wouldn't go down unless I slightly pushed it down... yah.. I think somewhere a long the tubing in the antena its jammed slightly.... my dad thinks the thing is just sticky, and when he checked it out, I thought he was gonna snap the damn thing in half! He was mean to it  But yeah, what do yall think, and got any suggestions? --------------------  2003 Nissan Murano SE |

exactly!! my antenna stopped working, it would make this griding sound as it was trying to go up. So finally i decided to just rip it out and put in the s2K antenna.
same thing happened with my moms camry. Her antenna would jam. She fixed it by by buying a lexus. -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

oil the stick that moves on the antenna..
put oil on the top and let it drip down, and then turn off your radio so it could retract. do that several times and see if that helps |

I got the s2000 one, but Im just going to weld the hole close and shave it. My alarm has a pager with it, and the antennea for it works good for my stereo antenna. The antenna is a viper window strip antenna.
