you just need the mast.... you may have to buy it from the dealer.... easy to replace.. just remove the nut on the top of the ant shaft... remove the old parts and turn the radio on..... feed the new mast into the shaft and have someone turn the radio off... the motor should catch the teeth on the cable and pull the ant in.... replace the nut on the shaft and your done.... oh yea rember to turn the radio off in the car wash

That didn't work for me -- I have to go to a stereo place to get it out. For some reason or another, the original mast is stuck in the antannae motor housing. Anyways, it doesn't hurt to try, but the solution may be more difficult than what z32 had said.

by the way, I think that it may have been tampered with, because my cable was taken out of the antennae, allowing it not to move up and down.

if the cable is broken or missing.... you may have to remove the ant motor assy and take it apart to remove the broken part left inside the gear set... and with any car type repair you may experience abnormal problems.... but normally when they get snapped off in the car wash you can replace they easily

I had the same exact thing happen to me, and try as I might, I couldn't for the LIFE of me get that mast out of the antenna motor.

I ended up just getting an entire OEM antenna motor from eBay, installation was simple, just put the antenna motor back in, connect two wires, plug in the grommet and you're all set.
It works great now
