Replacement Antenna Mask

[Guest inthespot]

Just say a post yesterday or the day before which had the numbers to order a replacement antenna mask but now it is gone. Did a search but can not find it anywhere. Help someone. Thanks Mike

Mike,

I am not sure what an antenna "mask" is, <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> but if you are looking for a replacement "mast" for your antenna from GM you get one from a Caprice and the part number is 22038195. This is just the top section and the band. To rebuild your antenna the motor needs to be good and the bottom two sections have to be good. The replacement piece you get from GM is now being made in China or someplace similar and Barney and I have discussed a couple of times that because they are cheaply made you will find where the nylon band is crimped to the top section they made it a little too big and will have to be recrimped or somehow made slightly smaller. Be careful though as the metal is very thin.

I knew that was not correct but just not think what it was, anyway, my center section is bad. I went through the car wash and forgot to put it down as I was using the XM and did not think about it. The motor and everything else is good but it bent the top over and got the section section. What now? Mike

If the bottom two sections are bent you will have to replace the whole assembly.

I will send you an email.
