paavila Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi, I have a 2003 RX 300 and the antenna stopped going down. It is stuck in the up position. It sounds like the motor still works as when the we turn the car on or off I can hear it running. Just wondering if anyone knows what part I need to get and how to go about reparing. Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffy Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hi- I replaced the antenna on my wifes 99 RX300 twice (car wash). Bought them on ebay. Try turning on the radio with the car running. Then using flathead screwdriver turned sideways like a lever, unscrew the the antenna retainer (the chrome base with slots) when loose pull the antenna out. Check the white plastic teeth and see if any of them are broke.if they are order a new antenna and replace- if not, feed the line bcak down to the motor, then have a helper turn off the radio while you guide the plastic teeth back into the motor... it should catch and lower the antenna. when down tighten the nut back up. Note: you can also use a pair of needle nose to loosen. If the nut it too tight youcan use the flat head and tap it lightly with a hammer just be carefull not to break it.
