I disassembled my antenna to find that the nylon feed gear was broken in a couple of places. I went to Pep Boys and purchased one that looked "close" to the original. It took a few attempts but finally the mechanism accepted the new antenna. The only problem is that sometimes the antenna does not make it all the way down. It gets stuck and then does not complete retraction. If I help it a little bit it will retract all the way. I greased up the nylon gear really good, it almost seems like it gets caught up on the creases in the feed gear from when it was packaged. Has anyone else had this experience? Do I need to adjust something?
