Adrian, The nylon cog strap has broken inside where it catches or the teeth wore out where it catches. Replacement of the antenna mast is in order. John Hervey www.specialtauto.com www.deloreanautopartsoftexas.com -----Original Message----- From:aod80@xxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Antenna question I am a relatively new DeLorean owner, and I love it. I am somewhat technically inclined and can do most work myself on my car with proper instructions. I have an '82 model, and my antenna has been working fine until recently, and it doesn't retract after I turn the car or the radio off.
