I was haveing a hard time threading my antennae wire through the plastic tube on my SE. I took a fairly large syringe, loaded it with a little baby powder, attach a short piece of fuel tubing to the syringe and the other end to the plastic tube. injected the powder, and moved the plunger up and down a couple of times to get the excess powder out. reinsert antennae through the tube in less than 5 seconds without a single snag...just wanted to share this idea, I hope that it helps someone.
