Subject: Thankyou re: Why does my antenna skip?


Thankyou to everyone who has explained that this is normal behaviour. Everything else is so over-engineered on the car, it was difficult to accept the thunking from the antenna every time it goes up or down, but if no damage is being done, so be it... I guess I'll just have to put the top down and crank up the volume to I don't hear it!
