The wire attaches with a spring clip snapped around the metal shaft as shown in the illustration. On my car the radio signal is intermittant and responds to my hand tapping the antenna knob. I am pretty sure the clip is a dirty connection, but I need to take the time to take it apart and try to clean it up.

The antenna from Chirco cost me $500. It someone wants a do-it yourself project I have my old antenna, some other used parts, and a couple of rechromed parts. I will sell the spare parts all or part.
