SignUp Now!Is it stuck in the up position and the motor just runs? Most of the time the nylon cable inside broke. If you got the car that way, chances are that someone snipped one of the wires to make it stop. If that's the case, you need this:
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
Sometimes you can find the kit on Ebay that just has the nylon cable, but I didn't see any today. They were discontinued by GM.
If the motor burnt out, you could probably get an antenna from someone parting a car out and swap in a new mast and you should be good. I don't hear too many problems with the motor burning out.
Most of the time - it is just the nylon cable. Chances are if the motor was running, there was nothing wrong with it. I don't know how well you trust the shop you brought it to, but there is probably nothing wrong with the motor. Thirdgen is a wealth of info for small problems with these cars. One snip of a wire under the dash would have stopped it from running. The only thing I can think of is if the motor is burnt maybe you burnt it because it kept running?
Brian has the repair kit or a complte unit. I grabbed one a BPG this year. GBodyParts.com Online
The link didn't work. I also searched the site and couldn't find it. As long as its not for a G Body, you should be good.
I guess they are the same! That company has a good reputation so it should be good. I think the bezel is different though, so make sure you hold on to it. It would make sense that GM would use the same antenna in different cars.When i called them i referenced this part

They said it would work for the turbo ta. They list parts for both types of cars so hopefully mine will be okay. What are the differences between the two?
