| Question: | I have a 2002 Montero
Sport Limited with a power antenna. The antenna's motor still works as I can heard winding up and winding down when a I start and turn off the vehicle. However, the antenna does not go down, it just stays up. I assume I'll need to take it in for this... can this be expensive? |
| Answer: | Roy, For a Montero that is as new as yours, this problem may still be covered under your original factory warranty. The best idea is to first verify with your local Mitsubishi dealership if any repairs would be free under your warranty. Your problem could be that antenna may have some rust in the telescoping
sections. If that happens, your antenna will stick and it will make it
difficult to go down. You can try to gentley push the antenna down by
hand. But if there is too much resistence, don't force it. Odds are, the
antenna may just need to be lubricated and doesn't need replacing. But
if your warranty still covers this, the dealership will most likely just
install a new one. |
