[Shotimes] antenna wrench

[mash4]

To be more specific the cable in the mast breaks. I'm not doing anything
wrong when I install it, but after the 3rd one I have to wonder about
the quality of the part. Not being an engineer I'm not sure what I would
change but somewhere in the length of the toothed cable there is
unnecessary stress which causes it to break. Always at the same point.
Just short of being able to catch the teeth in the drive wheel.

Really?  That wouldn't be my opinion.  The car has its share of bad
design
areas, but the antenna seems fine to me.  I've only replaced it once due
to my own fault because I tried to sneak into the garage before the door
was fully extended.  So only one replacement in 12 years.  It's a very
simple design.
