Well, it's finally taking a **** on me.. I have to turn the ******* radio off and on like 5 times before it finally retracts/ Sometimes it just stays at the top and buzzes. Facker. Anyway, how much does a new one cost? Or what's a good alternative?

They are pretty gay, 4 RX-7's and I have never had a power antenna that works. I just go to the local auto parts store and buy a either a rubber one or a manual one. The manual one looks just like stock, just doesn't go up and down.

you can buy the mast, its only like $40, or you can take it out completely, there is an antenna in the rear hatch glass that works just fine

I replaced mine last year.
$50 at www.mazdarecycling.com
It took them 4 times to send me one that wasn't broken but eventually they got it right.
