I am assuming that since you said you forgot to turn off your radio that you have the power antenna. I feel for you man, if you want a replacement the dealership charges about 300 big ones for a new power antenna. sure it takes about ten minutes to change but can you afford to. do what I did, 7 dollar pep boys antenna did the trick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its 300 for the ENTIRE antenna.

much less for just the mast.

What do u mean by just the mast. I think the motor is still working since i still heard the motor sound when i turn on the radio.

Go to Ebay and search for antenna mast. in the automotive parts section. I think I saw one there. I have bought them from EBAY and they work fine.

I have a 2nd now from ebay,

you can buy just the antenna mast from the dealer. it'll run you around $60.00. it only takes about 5 minutes to put in. i had to do mine about 6 months ago.

Heres ('http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2404396086&category=6774') a power antenna on eBay for $39.95, not bad

if u dont wanna pay for a new power antenna id just get a euro style on and stick it on the rear windshield and then fiberglass over the old antenna hole

Can anybody tell me how to put the antenna mast on?
Including how to pull out the carpet until i see the motor and how to open the part on the body where i need to put the new mast on because my old broken mast is still there.
Thank you

unclesteve: please check your pm.

I will probably just do what illestgalant did. How well did it fit?
