You need a toothed belt. There are only smooth and toothed.
BTW, I don't like the "new looks" of the board.

 It's the easiest install, takes justa couple of minutes at most. The plastic wrapper will have the install directions, I read them 3 times. I couldn't believe it was so simple to install.

BE SURE to hold the section of the mast housing, inside, where the antenna cable connects, with a wrench or pliers. If it turns, your antenna cable may break off and they are virtually impossible to repair or replace. Don't ask me how I know!

If you can not tell the difference between smooth plastic & tooth plastic part, what are you doing working on the car?  One is smooth round long coiling piece of plastic and the other has gear type teeth on the long plastic piece.

well i got it in. but it doesnt go down all the way. it stays sticking up at 3 in. thats as far don as it will go. when i turn on the radio it only goes up about 3/4 the length of the antenna. but when i hit the switch it goes all the way up. *shruggs* atleast its safer than when the whole thing stuck up

It is supposed to retract the entire way. You may not have fed it in quickly enough.
It is only supposed to go up 3/4 of the way when the radio is turned on.

Congrat's on the install.
From now own have a little more confidence in you capibilities, so as not to block your abilities to learn.  Start with easy things like this antenna and work your way up on the difficulty scale. Don't be afraid to ask the questions on how to do things, people may give you a hard time about following directions (me included) but don't let it get to you. Also if you have a language problem, let everyone know. Someone may be able to help in the translation, or at least we will then know and try to work around that problem. I have had to do a lot of translating Ozark Hillbilly to mainstream English since moving back here ten years ago after a 30 year absence.
