PSHAW Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Hi all, anyone know how to tighten the antenna on a 52 super? Mine just moves around whichever way the wind blows. thanks, Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kestrel Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 If it's anything like my '51's, loosen the set screw on the inside knob and remove it. There should be a brass lock nut having 2 recessed notches on the exposed wiper shaft. Possibly that shaft needs to be tightened. I had to make a "special" tool out of a bottle jack handle that would slide over the shaft and fit into those notches to tighten it down. I removed that nut with a couple of screwdrivers but nearly ripped the headliner in the process. That's why I made the tool. I just ground off enough metal to get a grip on the nut. I snugged my new antenna up nice and tight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
