breedy Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I need to replace the antenna mast in my '93 ES300. The Lexus dealer wants $80 for the antenna. In some of the older posts I read that many Toyota parts are identical. Does anyone know what model and year Toyota antenna would work in my ES? Would it be a '93 Camry? Thanks!

Lex3486 Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 well, I don't know if you have the same chains of auto parts stores where you are, but where I live, you can go to Pep Boys and pick a Toyota antenna mast up for $15, and it's every bit as good as any Denso part; after all, it doesn't really matter who makes it, as much as they are used, they're all gonna break eventually. Mine is about 2 or 3 months old, and no problems yet! I've had Denso antennas wear out quicker than that! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breedy Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 Thanks for the input! The Lexus Dealer wanted $85, the Toyota dealer wanted $56, I got one from Autozone for $25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronked Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I have searched through previous postings on Lexus ES300 Antenna Mast problem.. Needed some clarification please.. a) I have an antenna (Lexus ES300 1995) which comes out when the ignition is turned on, makes grinding noise; but does not go down, when ignition is turned off. Instead, it needs to be pushed down manually (makes grinding noise) and then goes in. B) I saw a posting that a Camry 1995 part (Antenna Mast) may work. Has anyone tried it and is it OK to go ahead and buy the Camry part instead of the Lexus part.. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbinh Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I have the same problem of grinding noise and the anttenae does not go down. 1993 ES300. If it just needs a new mast then how do you install it? Is it that simple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
