Finally got a replacement mast for the wife's 745 wagon. This is #4, I think. (Gave it to her as an Xmas goodie with some replacement lenses and a new starter. I hate Xmas. Waited a long long time). Last one ended up at the drive-thru car wash the same week. Just like the previous ones.

Installation was very quick & easy. BUT the antenna kinda flops-this-way-and-that-way-side-to-side-a-couple-of-times as it extends its travel up and then stops in the fully erect position.

I have the sneaking suspicion that there once was a 1"-2" topmost tubular brass fitting that might be missing? I don't remember. Anybody done this recently? Is there a "guide fitting?" or sleeve of some sort to keep from flopping around?

It just doesn't look like it is properly operating.
