Power Antenna Mast Conversion Kit for Ford and Lincoln - Easy 5 Minute

In this review the reviewer looks at the Power Antenna Mast Conversion Kit designed to turn a failed telescoping power antenna into a simple fixed mast while keeping the original power unit in place. The bottom line is that this kit is for owners of specific Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models who want a quick, low-cost repair without replacing the entire power antenna assembly. The kit's key selling point is its patented insert plus a 6 3/4' antenna mast that installs in roughly five minutes, avoiding the labor and dash work normally required to convert to a non-power antenna.

Key Features

• Patented conversion insert: Lets a technician or DIYer retain the original power unit and simply swap in the sleeve, saving the time and expense of removing the base.
• 6 3/4' short antenna: The included German engineered short mast restores reception and clears low garages or car washes while maintaining a factory appearance.
• Wide model fitment: Covers a long list of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury years and models so it works for many common sedans and coupes from the 1990s.
• Quick install: The conversion process is straightforward: remove the exterior nut, pull out the broken mast, insert the sleeve, reinstall the nut and thread in the new mast.
• USA assembled brand: Assembled by a family-owned US business with two decades of experience, offering reliable build and consistent parts quality.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of the specified 1989-2000 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models who have a failed telescoping power antenna but want to avoid replacing the entire power unit or running new wiring. It suits DIYers and shops that prefer a fast, cost-effective repair that restores radio reception without altering the factory base.

It is not ideal for vehicles outside the listed fitment years or for users who want a full operational power antenna restored; those customers should look for a full replacement power antenna assembly instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Fast, minimal-labor installation that can be completed in about five minutes.
• Includes both the conversion sleeve and the 6 3/4' mast so no extra parts are required.

• Assembled by a US family business with long experience, which supports consistent quality.

Cons

• Converts to a fixed non-power antenna, so you lose the telescoping feature if that is desired.
