Power Antenna Replacement for 780?

posted by  someone claiming to be Fee on  Thu Mar 9 03:43 CST 2017 [RELATED]

Hello. I have a 1991 780 and am looking to replace the power antenna. I want to get a OEM one as opposed to some cheap aftermaket one that will break in a year. I see numerous power antennas on Ebay, etc. that say that they will fit in a 780 but they also fit a S80 and other newer models so I am not sure if I want to commit to buying something that will not fit.

Does anyone know the correct part number or the part number of a power antenna assembly that will work in a 780? I tossed the old so I cannot use that for a reference. Thanks for any help.

    Look closely at the connector and the look of the unit. Some 900's had an opposite gender connector for some reason than the 200 or 700 series auto antenna.

    If the antenna looks like the one in you car it will fit, the only difference may be the mounting bracket holding the bottom of the unit to the car.

    Hang onto the old antenna and use parts from it to install the newer one to your car.

    I have found these old antenna's are very reliable, what goes bad is the mast and they are easily replaced.
