Power Antennae on C5
Last week I had zo6 shocks installed on my 2000 vert. The car has only 12,400 miles on it. Even since, I am have problems with the antennae. It goes up perfectly but won't close all the way. I have cleaned it and sprayed dw 40 on it and also tried a silicone grease but it still won't close all the way.
Could something have been done when the GM tech was putting on the rear shocks?
Thank you

Anything is possible but this is improbable

I did have to replace my antenna cable a couple of years ago. Broke off inside the motor.
About a 3 hour job including drilling out plastic rivets and relubing motor. If your mast works but is bent replace it with a mast from ANTENNAMASTSRUS.COM. Less than $20. GM says clean it with mineral spirits. Try that first and cycle it up and down to see if it corrects the problem.

I just did shocks and sways. Didn't get near the power antenna. Rear shocks are almost childsplay. Fronts are a lil more exciting as you have to compress them to install and remove with zip ties.
