I just replaced my power antenna (on a '93 945T*), thought it would be a five minute job, ended up taking ~ 40 minutes, though I could do it again in ~ 10 minutes. The reason I replaced it was because the old antenna would only go up about halfway, the new one works great.

Anyway, I just wanted to remind people that you are supposed to do maintenance on your power antenna. Per page 1:43 of my owner's manual:

Always lower the antenna when using an automatic car wash or entering a garage. The antenna should be cleaned at least every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or more frequently if needed. Use WD40 for cleaning.

- Spray the antenna with WD40 and wipe it clean and dry with a rag. Spray it again.

- Lower and raise the antenna, wipe it clean and dry again.

- Lower and raise the antenna 4-6 times. Make sure it is dry and free from dirt / lubricating oil.

*945T is Volvo shorthand for a 940 turbo wagon, right?
