WTB: [AUS] - power antena for a BA
So the antena in the BA has given out. The motor still works but the teeth are striped on the pole, so it won't go up or down unless you pull it a little to catch on the non stripped teeth. It goes down but not all the way
Long story short I'm after one, if anyone knows if the ones from the hard top will fit that would be great also how do you remove it? So I'm after the full assembly from the rear quarter panel Open to anything reasonable |

If motor still works it's easy
Needle nose pliers on top of the antenna will undo the metal surround. It pulls off and over antenna. Then signal the motor to wind it the whole way out and keep pulling up as it goes and it should feed it the whole way out to you. I think there's a rubber thing on the end of the antenna, remove that and put it in your new one. Shove new antenna teeth as far in as you can, signal motor to wind in and make sure it winds itself the whole way. Reattach outside with pliers. Dono where you'd get one I'll leave that to someone else

The 'Mast & Rope' kits are available at Auto Barn. The Aerpro AP254 kit claims to be the right one but is 1mm too thin and about 40mm too long.

I think they're $66 from mazda. Just bought the aeropro one cos i cbf going to mazda. The aeropro one is too long as already mentioned so it will not fully retract all the way back down. I dont mind tho cos its bound to break in a few months time!
