a couple of problems...
I am looking at a C36 with the following problems as told to me by the current owner:
Right rear window: off track or something, makes a grinding sound
antenna mast broken
interior lights blink occasionally
Radio: the LCD display is hard to see. It gets better on a really hot day, must have gotten moisture or something. I don't know if its something that can be replaced independent of the radio or not.
does anyone know what might be necessary and what it might cost to fix these problems?

although i do not own a c36, form your description of the problems, they seem to be minor fixes.
- rear window - i owuld probably take it apart and greese the tracks, if not the motor might be gone and would probably need to be replaced.
- antenna mast - easy fix, they sell the rpelacement mast (hirshman) and its pretty easy to install.
- interrior lights blink - first try to take out the light cover and slightly bend the contacts that hold the bulb in place to make the fitting a bit tighter. if after that it still blinks, you might have a bad door switch or the wire that plugs into the door pins might have come loose and is making contact with the metal chassis.
- radio LCD - i believe you can send out these radios to get fixed but the cost might out weigh what you can find one on ebay for. just make sure whomever you buy the radio from gives you the radio code!
as far as the cost, all of these items are basically a DIY.
