There's been something wrong with my power antenna from day one. It makes a loud clanking noise when it raises or lowers the mast and radio reception is awful.
I just replaced my head unit, and the antenna connection looks good behind the stereo but my reception is now even worse. So I'm guessing there's an issue at the antenna itself, but I can't figure our how to access it unless I pull out the wheel well, which sounds like a pain in the ass. Is that really my best option?
I felt around in there with my hand and it does seem like the thick antenna wire is securely attached to the base of the mast. This has definitely been worked on before as there's a fairly cheesy hack job where the antenna enters the hole in the fender.
Any advice is appreciated.
