I'm ready to give up on Saab's stock powered retractable radio antenna,
having had my third replacement break off recently. I think our British
friends call this the mast. I'm thinking I'd do just fine with one of those
hard rubber, flexible antennas you see on police cars and other government
type vehicles. Does anyone have experience with an after-market antenna ?
Any recommendations on what to try and where to buy it. My local auto parts
store just had some pretty cheesy looking manual antennas. My thinking is
that the low rubber antenna will not break off when I go thru the car wash
and that kids won't be able to easily snap it off either.
This is for a 97 9000 Aero.
Thanks.

Re: replacement radio antenna





Uh.... you didn't go through the car wash with the power antenna up,
did you? Even manual antennas should be collapsed for that.

I've never heard of anyone replacing their antenna more than once. Do
you have a vandalism problem ?
