That was enough for me.
Both broke the nylon cord inside it.

If you want to go brand new Metra, sells new power antennas.
Metra as in Metra Kits & wire harness for aftermarket radios.
I don't know how good the quality or waranty is for there antennas, but there kits & harness for installing aftermarket radios are favorite among electronic installers.
Here is there site:
http://www.metraonline.com/anatomy.php?sec=antenna
You can't buy directly but they have a link for finding a representative (stereo shop etc.)
I'm thinking of getting one myself, I already replaced the original with one from the scraper and its not much better.
When I last checked the price direct from authorized distributor I think cost was $80 Canadian.
Nice ride by the way looks the exact same as my 92.

Mine just went bad today. It worked the 1st time I went out, but the 2nd time it didnt. I looked at the fuses but there wasnt anything about the power antenna. Also my power trunk release doesnt work either. I just used that today before I went out. But my keyless remote trunk release works. I hope I'm not stealing your thread 93SSE. Just figured I wouldnt start a new one.
