replacement power antenna: OK ba?

[boybi]

tumatagal ba mga replacement power antennas? or should i get the oem antenna? nasira na kasi power antenna ko, kelangan tulungan ko para bumaba, wala naman problema yung pataas. i guess na bungi na yung gears.

[GlennSter]

bad experiences with replacements..wala namang japan niyan eh.

pinalitan ko nalang ng bosch rubber antenna.about 2ft high tapos natatanggal mo siya kung matagal ka sa parking para di manakaw.

wala namang japan talaga na nabibiling replacement.branded as japan lang pero china parin.

oem nalang kung gusto mo power talaga

[wilson66]

tama si GlennSter, same here bad experience w/ replacement ant. hindi siya tumagal sa akin, na bungi agad ang gear nya.
try mo sa banawe, baka ma-repair pa yan.

bro - i have the same problem

try mo ipaayos. dito sa mga car shops sa yakal, makati, they quoted me P600 to repair the antenna. okay na sa akin. however, when they opened the housing, naputol na pala ang antenna. they also said that it was already repaired before. hindi na daw puede i repair. pero, kung pipilitin kong ayusin, it is expensive (about P2000 ata ang quotation) and they cannot guarantee that maayos talaga.

so wala akong choice but to get a non OEM replacement antenna. i am still observing if this will last. so far so good pa naman. cost is P2200

the other power antenna i got way back was OEM but for the pajero. mahal nga lang. i think it cost me about P5000 at that time

[orly_andico]

you could also get a surplus antenna. this is what i did. been almost 2 years now. cost me 2k.

[wrecker]

anong auto ba? kasi dati nagtanong ako sa casa, yung oem for civic is 1,800 lang, same price as those taiwan replacements

[niwde11]

just replaced my power anternna of my civic last march. P800 yata cost ng surplus. putol din kasi yung plastic na may gear. dali lang yan buksan.

[BlueBimmer]

mostly nasisira nyan is the plastic belt teeth, napupudpud kaya di na umaakyat o baba. ok naman mga taiwan power antennas pero di ganyan ka-swabe gumalaw, no idea how reliable though

[boybi]

i called mantrade and asked about the price of the power antenna assembly:::::: 18,000.00!!!

palagay ko replacement nalang ang ipapalit ko. less than 2K lang yung quote sa akin dito na taiwan replacement. and then try ko pa-repair yung nasira para reserba.

[GlennSter]

18k?!?!

baka antenna ni ernie baron yan!!!yung kasama si ernie!

[ranod55]

wala talagang original na replacement ng power antenna,yung sa akin na toyota-cressida,ganyan din ang naging problema-pero palibasa d2 sa m.e. eh maraming aksidente lalo sa sasakyan,so ang ginawa ko punta ako sa tambakan ng mga sirang sasakyan at pinayagan naman ako ng may ari na kumuha ng kailangan ko.so the problem was solve, hanggang naibenta ko na nga at bumili ng bago.kung talagang gusto mo yung orig eh tiaga ka lang mag-hanap...

[orly_andico]

i saw a replacement power antenna at this car shop in SM Megamall (yung sa Mega A, malapit sa max's, forgot the name...) bosch ang tatak and made in Germany. mga 2.5k lang.

[wrecker]

18k?!?!

baka antenna ni ernie baron yan!!!yung kasama si ernie!

baka nakaka-pickup ng cable

[wildthing]

Boybi,

It seems na antena rod lang naman ang possible problem mo. Why not ask nissan na about their OEM antena rod replacement. It should be cheaper.

Yung sa frontier ko is P900 lang.

Mahal pag buong power antena.

I also tried to disasseble it...madali lang.

Try oiling the antena too bka me pagasa pa.

[boybi]

i replaced my power antenna assembly with a taiwan replacement. P1,600.00. but we did some modifications. meron kinuhang mga parts sa old antenna like yung base na nakakabit dun sa fender and yung parang stalk na aluminum housing the rod.

wildthing, when we disassembled the old assembly, putol putol na yung guide ng antenna, yung plastic na meron mga gears na tumutulak at humihila sa rod.

[backbone]

ingat sa automatic car wash, wag kalimutan turn off radio all the time.

[theveed]

backbone: hehe dont worry walang ganun dito :D

btw, kung bungi yung teeth, pwede kaya fabricate ng new gear??? hmmm... Di nadin nagreretract akin eh.

[wildthing]

hindi na but if you but depending on the brand (yung nissan pede) pedeng antenna rod lang ang palitan - the motor and electronic of the orig are retained and the original rod is replaced. Kasama ang plastic sa rod. the problem is if the gears ng motor (about 2 or 3 eto) ang nasira...you will have to buy a new one.

I have just recently finished my power antena repair...I have to remove the last (base) section ng rod kasi dito na bend beyond use. I manage na gawan na paraan without buying a new rod...mas shorter na nga lang ang antena by 5-6 inches.

[BoyL3]

sa kapalangan, 800 pesos lang, nakabili non uncle ko pang Honda Civic

[OTEP]

Gagana pa ba yung antenna controller (yung up and down manual override) ng Patrol, LC, Pajero sa mga replacement antennas?

How much kaya yung rod lang. May problema din kasi ako sa antenna ngayon.
