Default Fairlane fixes, direction required!

Hi guys, this stuff applies to fairlanes only.
Couple minor issues i wouldnt mind sorting out.
1 the power antenna wont fully drop into the gaurd, and sits one mast section out.

2 the fairlane high level brake light has some broken light sections in it, and ford want $360 trade for a new one, anyone fixed theres before?

Thanks!

Hi. The mast may have a slight bend in it, other than a new mast you can put the antenna up to full height and then have someone turn off the key and as it goes down you can give it a push. if it goes down past the bend that section may only come up half way and go all the way down in future. With the light you will have to "break" it open to repair it, you may need to change all the LEDs to match colour and brightness levels and dont use supaglue to glue it back together as it may go cloudy like a CSI finger print test. Find a cheap LED brake light on ebay about the same size and adapt it to fit the fairy. Cheers MD

Problem #1. have you tried WD40 ?

The one on my old AUII Barge got tired like that WD40 fixed it.
