New Antenna Mast

[babyduke]

I just got a new antenna mast for my 1997 SC300 but lost the instruction sheet. How do I remove the old one and install the new one?

Remove the chrome nut from the outside and drop the ant unit into the trunk, Disconnect and open the motor assy. Pull out the old mast and stick the new one in the ant, Turn on the radio and let the mast feed into the ant. Reinstall.

P.S. Make sure the mast is down before you start.

Attached is the actual procedure from the shop manual...

There are a few steps to do it properly...

Thanks. I pulled out the old and installed a new one but perhaps the nylon cable is too long, the antenna does not go all the way down. How do I fix this?

I would re-do the steps from the manual.

Be sure to do the 1st step using the buttons on the radio.

This extends the antenna to its farthest extension.
