Default Power Antenna Fix

Well my power antenna on my 95 is stuck up and it makes a wonderful grinding noise when it tries to go up and down. Is there an easy fix for this or is that another C4 Nightmare. I have already lived though the opti, waterpump , intake manifold gaskets, and a tranny rebuild. So this is kinda minor. Thanks for any help

Tony

My antenna, I've noticed, is covered in grease (lithium grease?). I didn't do it, bought the car that way. Maybe you can try that?

In any case, here's a bump for ya...

If the motor is still working you might just need to replace the antenna and ribbon. Almost any of the corvette parts sites have them, thepartsladi on ebay has them for $27.00 which is as cheap as I have seen them.Its not that bad a job and I believe theres instructions in the Tips section of this forum.
