Ah, the manual antenna's the US spec 80s never got. Forget repairing or replacing your OEM electric antenna and go with a genuine manual antenna. Works with 91-97 80s. This is especially beneficial/cost effective for those with LX450s or 1997 80s as the antennas are not interchangeable with earlier years and are $400 for the OEM part alone. This is part 86300-60030
