TV Antenna won't go up.

2005 Winnebago Sightseer 30B

My over-the air rooftop antenna is very hard to crank.

Scared I may break it if I try any harder to raise it.

Is it best to repair or replace it?

Oil it with WD-40?

Replace it? (with what antenna)

You guys always know what to do.

Thanks for your help.

    Throw the WD-40 away. Go up on the roof and unscrew the black plug on top of the crank up mechanism. Add a couple drops of oil to the gears.
