Default WANTED C70 coupe electric aerial

As per title, my recently purchased 2000 'X' C70 coupe's electric aerial doesn't seem to retract.

I've doused it in WD40 and wiped it, as this has worked well in the past on my 440s and S40s. However this one doesn't go down into the rear wing at all, and I can hear the motor whirring away, so the aerial itself seems knackered.

I'm therefore looking for one, plus any other goodies anyone may have for a mk1 C70. A 6 CD changer would be especially welcomed!

Joseph

Hi Joseph

A few years ago, I bought and fitted a new retractable antenna on my C70.

It is the telescoping part and a white nylon toothed line that gets pulled into the boot when the motor runs.

It wasn't difficult to do.

I dont know where to buy one now, but it wasnt expensive (maybe about £12).

So ask/look around for just that part, not the whole motor assembly.

Maybe even ask Volvo!

Hope that helps,
Steve

Something like this

(but it is difficult to get things from Skandix at the moment).

Or this
