C3 power antenna

[chuckhinva]

The cable broke in my power antenna and the antenna was stuck in the up position. The shop manual says to cut the antenna if you can't get it down. DO NOT CUT THE ANTENNA!!! Cable replacement kits do not come with the antenna. Now my $20 repair has become a $145 replacement. Anybody know where I can get the tube and mast assembly?

You are just looking for the crome part? Its the same in many cars. Its just going to be a pain to identify.I used the delco antenna out of a 1994 Cadillac. It was virtually the same.

I originall bought the mast and cable from GM....they did sell it but it was not a fit for the original Delco but rather the aftermarket replacement.

Hit the local scrap yard with what you have left and see if you can match it up.

Found the antenna assembly out of an '86 Olds. Worked like a champ. Thanks
