Power Antenna Mast Compatible with Subaru Legacy Wagon 1997-1999

In this review the focus is on a direct-replacement power antenna mast designed specifically for the Subaru Legacy Wagon from 1997 to 1999. The bottom line: if the motor in your factory power antenna still runs but the mast is missing, bent, or stripped, this part is the simple, dealer-identical fix that restores function without modifying the unit. The reviewer found installation straightforward for a competent DIYer and appreciated that the mast matches factory dimensions so there is no guessing about fit or compatibility.

Key Features

• Exact factory fit: The mast is 100% identical to the original Subaru mast so it fits the factory power unit without modification.
• Stainless steel construction: Highest quality stainless steel provides corrosion resistance and long life compared with cheaper replacement masts.
• Simple installation: The part is small and straightforward to install by an owner with basic tools and the included step-by-step instructions.
• Conversion option available: For those tired of repeated failures, a patented conversion kit is available separately to convert to a stationary antenna in minutes.
• Assembled in USA: The part is assembled by a small family-run antenna specialist in Wisconsin, which may be important to buyers who prefer domestic assembly.
• One year replacement warranty: The mast is backed by a one year replacement warranty for peace of mind after purchase.

Who It's For

This replacement mast is best for owners of a 1997-1999 Subaru Legacy Wagon whose power antenna motor still operates but whose mast is missing, bent, or stripped. It is aimed at DIY mechanics and enthusiasts who want an exact factory-style replacement without paying dealer prices.

It is less suitable for buyers who have a failed power antenna motor (the mast alone will not repair a bad motor) or for owners of different Subaru models or years, since this part is not a universal fit and is made to match factory specifications for the Legacy Wagon.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Factory-identical fit removes fitment guesswork and typically installs cleanly into the original power unit.
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and should outlast cheaper plated alternatives.
• Clear step-by-step instructions make installation accessible to non-professional installers.
• Assembled by a small USA specialist and includes a one year replacement warranty for added confidence.

Cons

• Does not repair a failed power antenna motor; motor issues must be diagnosed separately.
• Specific to 1997-1999 Legacy Wagon so not usable for other models or universal replacements.
