Ultimate sacrifice: No brushful carwashes for me

I'll confess, I bailed on the antenna mast motor R&R; in the grand scale of things it just doesn't matter that much to me whether the mast retracts or not, I just want good reception. I will admit that I took the advise from some in this thread and stripped the assembly down to its core but after dicking with it for an hour or so decided that (a) more probing was unlikely to lead to a fix; and (b) I have better things to do.
SO, I lopped-off ~12 1/2" from the end of the nylon mast support, reassembled the assembly and put it back in the car, and then jammed the mast down into the receiving port. I left the motor disconnected from any power and re-connected the coax cable then cinched the mount down to the car body. End result-- fully extended mast and good reception.
I've never been a fan of those roller-brush car wash places anyway.
