The motor is running but the antenna stays in the up position. Anyone have a suggestion. Thanks

The good news is that the motor is running so you only need to buy the replacement mast.

On a '95, anyone know where the antenna lead can be gotten to?

My antenna won't pull off. Is it still repairable?

And have two people to install it. Unless of course your arms can stretch from the ignition switch to the antenna.

Broken ribbon
There are 2 styles of ribbons, the older C4 uses a nylon rod with a metal hook and the newer ones uses a gear type ribbon. If yours is the old style, which i believe it is, then you will have to remove the motor, open it up and replace the nylon rod and finial end. I got my mast repair kit from GM for around $20. Here is a little info from my 86 manual.
