to those of you who've had this problem with the antenna and the WW/kaminari wing, you can do what i did when i converted from the fixed antenna to a powered one. simply wire in a relay to bypass the signal to the antenna whenever the trunk is open. just look for the red wire with a green stripe in the trunk area. that wire sees a ground whenever you pop your trunk. use that on one side of the coil of the relay. the other side of the coil gets a constant +12v. then cut the signal wire to the antenna. connect one side of the wire to the common pin (30) and the other to the NC pin (87a). that's it! i think with the stock power antenna the wiring might be a little different b/c it used one signal wire for up and another for down. in that case you would use one relay to bypass the 'up' signal and another to activate the 'down' signal. should work alright. i don't have my wing yet but i just wired everything up while i was installing the antenna. bascially what will happen is that the antenna will go down immediately after you pop the trunk and go back up once you close it.
