Hey guys, my power antenna is going out... again. I have no idea what the problem is, but the antenna motor keeps running after the antenna has gone all the way up. Is there a cut-off switch that is supposed to stop the motor when it reaches the top? This thing started gradually... at first it would only run a few seconds after the motor hits the full antenna extension - now it runs for about 20 seconds and seems to be running longer each time i start the car. Has anyone had this issue before? I took the antenna assembly apart thinking the gears were stripped, but everything looks fine.

Are there non-power antenna options available for the 6g celica?

How much do you use the radio? What I did was just disconnect the motor b/c I never listen to radio and I was tired of it going up everytime I turned my stereo on. Not sure if it's the same for hatchbacks, but for coupes/verts, there is a side panel inside the trunk with a little door on it and the connector is right behind that.

Or you could go S2k antenna which is a pretty nice choice also.
