I really wanted the plastic coated cable but couldn't find any. Measured the old plastic cord against the cable and added an inch and clamped the hardware to the cable. Used my Dremel to grind down the stop end to fit inside the plastic part. Works good and the cable will probably outlast the car. lol
jdouglas87, Man, I have no way of knowing it's working condition, but I've got a power antenna assembly I'll sell you. I have no reason to think that it didn't work when I removed it, but I was unable to ever try it from the parts car it came from. How does $25 sound, as is? Let me know.
If you have the antenna assembly out of the car, I use two pieces of electric wire and a 9 volt battery to test these antennas. Plug the two pieces of wire into the grey plug and the other two ends on the 9 volt battery. Reverse wire on battery to make antenna go opposite direction.
My son turned 18 on Monday and we got him a few useful things (pots, pans) since he is moving out next year.
We have a foreign exchange student from Finland living with us this year and she decided to make him a birthday card. It came out awesome! We were all like :-O when we saw it.
Here is a pic of the card and of his car, I think she captured it pretty well.
