Power Antenna Mast Care (Convertible) Your power antenna will look its best and work well if it's cleaned from time to time. To clean the antenna mast do the following: 1. Turn on the ignition and radio to raise the antenna. 2. Dampen a clean cloth with mineral spirits or equivalent solvent. 3. Wipe the cloth over the mast sections, removing any dirt. 4. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Notice: Before entering an automatic car wash, turn off your radio to make the power antenna go down. This will prevent the mast from possible damage. If the antenna does not go down when you turn the radio off, it may be damaged or need to be cleaned. In either case, lower the antenna by hand by carefully pressing the antenna down. If the mast portion of your antenna is damaged, you can replace it. See your dealer for a replacement kit and follow the instructions in the kit. Integrated Windshield and Rear Window Antennas (Coupe) The antennas in your vehicle are located in the windshield and the rear window. The front connector is at the top of the windshield and the rear antenna is incorporated in the rear window defogger grid. 5. Make the antenna go gp and down by turning the radio or ignition off and on. 6. Repeat if necessary. Notice: Don't lubricate the power antenna. Lubrication could damage it. 3-79
