Power Antenna Mast Conversion Kit for Saab 93 and 900 - Short Antenna

In this review the AntennaMastsRus Power Antenna Mast Conversion Kit is evaluated for Saab owners who want a fast, low-cost way to stop repairing a failing power mast while preserving the factory power unit. The bottom line: this kit is for anyone with a 1999-2003 Saab 9-3 or a 1994-1998 Saab 900 who wants a quick, 5 minute conversion from a telescoping power antenna to a fixed short antenna without removing the base or running new wiring. It keeps the original power unit in place and replaces only the mast with an insert and a 6 3/4' mast, saving time and workshop labor.

Key Features

• Model fit: Specifically fits 1999-2003 Saab 9-3 and 1994-1998 Saab 900, making selection straightforward for owners of those cars.
• Patent design: The kit uses the US PATENT 10,573,960 conversion design so the installation method is engineered to replace the telescoping mast without changing the power unit.
• Complete kit: Includes both the conversion insert and a German engineered 6 3/4' short antenna, so you do not need additional parts to finish the job.
• Easy installation: The conversion requires removing the exterior nut, pulling the factory mast, inserting the sleeve, reinstalling the nut and threading in the new mast - typically a 5 minute process.
• Maintains base: Lets you retain the factory power unit as the antenna base so there is no need to remove the power unit or route new wiring through the dash.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Saab owners who have a failed or failing telescoping power antenna mast and want a quick fix that keeps the factory power unit intact. It suits DIYers who prefer a short, durable antenna and do not want to spend time or money on replacing or rewiring the entire antenna base.

It is not for owners seeking a powered, extending antenna replacement or a longer specialty mast. If you want the original telescoping function restored, or a different mast length beyond the supplied 6 3/4' antenna, look for a complete power mast replacement instead.

• Fitment is limited to specific Saab 9-3 and 900 model years and is not universal.
