The antenna mast can be replaced from the outside. But usually the long plastic spiral gear-strip thingee that is driven by the motor will have fractured and you may need to remove the antenna to clean out the bits and pieces. If so you need to remove the trunk liner on that side and have at it. If not you just loosen the hex nut on the outside and remove the mast and long plastic gearstrip, then feed the new one in and bolt the mast in. http://townsendimports.com/Web/body_folder/antmastrep.htm -- -Fred W
