Removing Power Antenna Options

[pongt17]

I search all over, but can't find any detail info on how to remove the power antenna and repacing it with an after market antenna. Can anyone send me a link where I can find that or if you can give the info here. Thanks

Mine was stuck halfway as there's an internal plastic piece that snapped.
Here's a sticky that might help. http://www.6gc.net/howto/install_s2000_antenna

Also some info here..

If the electric aerial jams, it doesn't have to be replaced. If you're lucky you can fix it like this: Switch the radio on and leave it on. Undo the top nut holding the aerial to the wing. Pull the broken mast up and away from the aerial body. Fit a new mast, available from a Toyota dealer for around £20 by inserting the toothed nylon rack into the aerial body. Switch the radio off and the aerial should retract, refit top nut. If like me you are less lucky, the nylon flexible rack will have snapped off inside the body. Take the interior panel off inside the boot, and remove the aerial from inside, after pulling the old mast off as best you can. You will need to take the aerial apart and get the broken rack segment out before fitting the new mast. I have access to a 12V current limited power supply in my workshop which I used to drive the motor manually and test that I had it correctly reassembled before refitting to the car. If you don't have this, take it back to the boot of the car and test it there with the car's connector before fully refitting. This job took me about an hour and saved me having to buy a £200 replacement aerial, so was well worth the trouble.
