Repairing a GM power antenna mast
I had a broken cable in one of my '90's era cars and GM claims they don't have a replacement cable for it.
So i started to think........... Below I have a pic of the broken cable end and the repair. The broken end has a metal piece that hooks into the reel of the antenna. i went to the hardware store and found some brass tube, 5/32" dia that fit the nylon cable nicely. stuffed the nylon into it and formed the tube to match the broken one. The cable in the tube keeps it from kinking as you bend. Reassemble and the unit works again. The antenna doesn't extend as far as the original due to the shortened cable, but at least it works.
