Does anyone know what is the best way to clean the rear antenna. I have had to replace the mast and I noticed it is starting to stick again. Do I have to reopen everthing and add more grease?

    If it's really stuck replacement masts are about $15-25 and really easy to replace yourself.

    i would take the mast out completely and check the teeth on it are not damaged.That would be a sign that the gears have gone. make sure the aerials not bent as mine was and would not go all the way up.

    then apply grease to all moving parts.

    Might wanna spray wd40 etc down into the gears to clean out any crap etc...

      I tried everything but the only thing that
      worked for me is sanding the mast a little
      with an emery board. Give it a try.
