any way to change the motorized antenna to a screw on type antenna? Ass clown at my local car wash didn't put down my antenna before running my car. Folded it completely over. Motorized antenna hasn't worked in years anyway.

never mind oreillys had some cheap screw in type. switched it.

How's it work?

works just as good as the stock one, but now I'm torn.... whether i want to blow the old one up with tannerite or crush it with a big hammer cursing the designer for such asshatery

I didnt know any of the 1st gens got motorized antennas.

Mine and all my buddies first gens do

I'm happy my TW doesn't. Fixed mast FTW.

you can replace the mast pretty easily

Mine has duel antennas, one I use only in the winter (fixed on the roof) one in the summer ( power on the quarter).

screw on type is just better. I guess you could argue less weight too but the electric one doesn't weigh much to begin with.

The turbo legacies and I think the LS models had the motorized antenna.

Huh. Maybe my TW's was replaced at one point.

Hmm.....maybe they changed things later on or maybe the wagons didn't get them.

All TW had motorized antennas as well. James614's must have been swapped out at some point.
Easy way to tell: All manual antenna Subarus have the antenna above the driver's side window on the roof. All power antenna Subarus have the antenna on the driver's side rear quarter panel. (Applies until '99 for Legacys)

I thought the wagons were on the pass side?
