These power antenna are pigs in colder climates, especially with freezing rain. Eventually they will strip the stupid plastic strip that pulls it down. Go to any auto parts store and replace it ( the whole mechanism) with a fixed whip. With a few basic tools and 20 minutes work, its well worth he effort and costs no more than 20 bucks. No special wiring needed, they just plug right in to the existing cable. Case closed!!
