Been having problems with my radio reception on my (new to me) 55 210 sedan...
From the outside of the car, are you supposed to be able to "extend" the antenna all the way out and off?
I suspect the antenna itself is just plain broken.
Anyway, I took the kick panel off, unscrewed the antenna cable and pulled the whole antenna assembly out. Putting it all together in my lap, the FM reception improved.
Messing around with it a little more, I found that there was "something" sliding around inside the bigger antenna housing, between the couple and the bottom end. Not sure what that is.
I ended up putting it all back together, zipping it back up and have been enjoying the iPod tunes.
I dont have any explanation other than maybe disconnecting/reconnecting the cable "cleaned up" a little oxidation?
I'm still concerned about the antenna itself. Should you be able to pull it out all the way??
