Default Antenna making very odd noise

Hey guys, when I bought my car the one thing was the antenna made a funny noise when it went up. Personally i thought i could have been it need lubed up? maybe the motor is bad? but it still raises and lower.

Anyone have some words of wisdom because i'm stumped

Motor's out, nothing you can do but replace it, or get a shortie.

Can i just remove disconnect the motors power?
possibly the easiest way so i don't have to tear apart the car.

because im not a big fan of radio and i like the antenna down.

Just take off the paneling inside and unplug the motor. Its a cakewalk.

I did it! It was very easy, im a smaller guy so i was able to just sit in the trunk and pull out the spare tire half way and detach the one set of wires, there was another one for my security but i just left that alone.

Id recommend this mod to any one who wishes not to have a stupid antenna if they listen to cd's or have an ipod hook up.
