    Rebuilding power antenna

    I used Teflon super lube on my rebuild with a steel cable but something is amiss. Worked great for a few months but last time I had it out the antenna only extended 10-12 inches and stopped. Retracts fine, I may have to tear it down again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    Ester or PAG
