sainikai Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 I never had problem with audio antenna. Recently, I noticed that antenna was not all the way down. I have no clue how to repair it. Please guide how to replace it and how much it is going to cost me. Thanks.
VMF Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 i dont know it might be only my experince but aftermarket antennas brake like crazy. so what i did is i just cut the cable and now i pull it out manually. i know sometimes its embarrasing but i dont wanna pay 90$ for the antenna or 300$ for the whole assembly. in your case you can extend the antenna. spray it with WD40. wipe it. do it couple of times and it might help. you can use liquid wrentch as well. its either dirty or bent.
oversteer Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Has anyone tried the antennas on Ebay? There are several different models being listed. One of them is 39.50 and claims to be a german made OEM manufacturer. I was just wondering if anyone had tried it. item=2432093327 Thanks, Chet

obergc Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 You just probably need a new mast, I purchased one from Lexus of St Louis for around $55. Easy replacement job. I would expect that you will have to remove the entire antenna unit though because the toothed nylon cable that runs internal to the mast that extends and retracts the mast is probably broken off and most of the cable is inside the antenna housing. Not an expensive or a hard job to repair using Lexus parts. Curt
mapman Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 you can pick up a new mast from irontoad.com for $38.
SKperformance Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 i am sure when i replaced my mast on my es it was only 30 something $ about 4 years ago as i thought it wasn't extracting fully until i installed the new one and found it is just he way some of the masts heights are different which i alo bought form lexus
