Re: Roof mount antenna failure symptoms

[Byron Porter <byron@ssccpas.com>]

I had a similar problem with my '90 Corrado.  There is a procedure on the CCA
website that describes how to fix the problem.  In a nutshell, you will remove
the base of the antenna from the roof, unscrew the base and remove the
amplifier.   Then, you simply solder a connection to fill the void left by the
amp.  After removing the defective amp, my reception improved considerably.
Definitely check out the CCA website for more specific instructions
