Default power antenna
Has anyone found any power antenna that would bolt in and work in a 2002 convertible? I have looked on face book marketplace and ebay, several say they will work. But I am reluctant to buy. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The salvage places have these and bolt right in. J&J auto wrecking.

Also if it is just stripped you can get the replacement plastics strip to rebuild it. I have seen them at some of the Vette parts places. I rebuilt one on a Caprice once no big deal.

After a while of searching, I was lucky enough to find one that was new-old-stock on eBay.
Paid about $190.00 for it.
