2004 Hyundai Sonota radio antenna

Mar 25, 2008 5 Replies

Has anyone experienced problems with the radio antenna. Seems like it works fine and then all of the sudden it catches and jerks when going up or down. I have replaced it twice. I have cleaned and lubricated it and it helps for a short time.


We've had no such problems with my wife's '04. Did you replace just the mast, or did you replace the motor too?

If you haven't tried it yet, use some silicon lube. I have some GM silicon brake grease sitting around and typically use that, but the best I've seen is a product called "Sil-glide."

In that case I suspect the drive mechanism is what is faulty. Replace it.
