What does the > release tool look like? I assume that it attaches to your key fob...? Sounds pretty neat, but I've not seen this design before. Where did you find it? If a paperclip works, why not just use one and solder the wires together, so it won't get bent up in your pocket? It would be small and would fit easily on a key chain. > Also, the antenna is a little bit stiff to extend and > collapse. Is it recommended to lubricate antennas? What do folks > suggest? Yes, lubrication will help them. Just wiping grit off will help, but you can wax them, or use a very thin smear of grease. The Blaupunkt (now Bosch) antennas come with a recommendation to use an oil with MoS2 in it; a good example of this would be Dri-Slide, but Lock-Eze is similar, with graphite instead of MoS2. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
