Antenna Rebuild

My antenna stopped going up. The motor runs as I can hear it but no longer goes up. Has anyone installed the kit sold by Ecklers? I have a 1994. Need to fix this antenna, then pull the radio for Dr. Don to rebuild. THEN life will be good.

Its an easier procedure with two people so one can work the key and radio power action while the other attempts the remast.

I agree with Goldcylon. I bought mine from ebay:

I had the remast kit in 5 days after I ordered it. It was a Delco replacement.

I got to page 33 of the site in the Corvette section and did not see one.. Ecklers and others might be more money but what is your time worth...sigh..

eBay is amazing! I found this seller and purchased a kit. Got notiification of shipping the same day. This will be my weekend project coming up. If successful, the next weekend I will pull the radio and ship it to Dr. Don. Just busy busy busy....

What is wrong with the radio, what do you mean by rebuild?
As an alternative, there is also Factory car stereo in Orlando. Have used them several times myself.
