First problem.

Doesn't go down all the way, motor keeps turning and the mask gets stuck about 3 in before it gets down.

Second.

I keep pouring oil on it and it works for about a day or two.
Is there any other kind of oil that you can use for these things?

Anyone have a solution to this? BESIDES something like the S2K antenna...

did you recently replace it ? if not then you have to loosen the silver plastic cover that wraps around the rubber piece on the top of the motor on the outside, it has a weird pattern on it, when i changed mine they said if that lil piece is too tight, then antenna wont go down all the way and i had to loosen mine a bit, and that fixed it.

i have a quick solution:

turn the radio off, and while the antenna is going down, RUN to the antenna and "help" it go all the way in there. turn off the car, then snip the remote wire to the antenna. then get XM

If you need to replace it, JDM antennas are usually very cheap on ebay. I bought mine for < $20 shipped and it works fine. Back when I replaced my mast on the old antenna, it still wouldn't go down all the way. I ended up pushing it down all the way, then I turned on the radio later and the antenna tube snapped off of the motor in the trunk.

well, what andy is implying here is that you need to pretend that some IDB action is going on....

but seriously, if it annoys you that much, just shove it back in there and disconnect the wire to the motor

MR.CLIFFORD

mooney man how many times have I told you not to imply what I'm trying to say?

well if your antenna mast is messed up. i can probably fix it, but you would have to send it to me

no, it's not messed up. The motor just clicks and it doesn't bring the mast all the way down.
