Hi,

I have the same problem with my '96 850 sedan (Australian version). I also
had the same problem with my previous car, a Volvo 740. Cleaning the paint
from the underneath of the area where the antenna mounts, so that the
mounting hardware can make a good electrical connection to the chassis
normally helps in this situation.

It made a really big difference to my 740. I tried the same with the 850,
with an improvement but not entirely eliminated.

I rubbed a smear of grease on the bare metal cleaned of paint to
prevent/reduce rusting.

I too would be interested if anyone has a complete cure for this.

Regards
Barry
