I recent purchased a new antenna mast because I began to hear that grinding noise it would typically make if the mast was broken. When I installed the new one, it continues to make that awfull noise when the antenna is all the way up. I took the antenna motor apart and removed all broken pieces of the old mast already. I understand that this noise is caused by worn out teeth or broken piece of the mast. Since this is a new antenna mast with unworn teeth, could the teeth on the motor be worn? Any help or advice would be great! THANKS!

I just replaced the antenna motor and that damn noise is still present! I have no idea what is going on. I bought the antenna mast off ebay. I'm thinking if I should just take it to the dealer and have them try to fix it or buy and OEM antenna mast and see if it works correctly. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars for the dealer just to look at it and it end up being a problem that I could have fixed myself. ANY help/advice would be appreciated. PLEASE!!!
