Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna.
Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or
equivalent solvent.

any dirt.

I
NOTICE:
Don’t lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication
could damage it.
I
NOTICE:
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off
your radio
to
make the power antenna go down.
This will prevent the mast from possibly getting
damaged.
If
the antenna does not go down when
you turn the radio off, it may be damaged or
need
to
be cleaned. In either case, lower the
antenna by hand by carefully pressing the
antenna down.
If the mast portion
of
your antenna is damaged, you can
easily replace it. See your retailer
for
a replacement kit
and follow the instructions in the kit.
