2000 Lexus RX300 rear antenna stuck in position.

[The Black Knight]

Good Afternoon RX owners,

Has anyone encountered this issue with the antenna located in the rear quarter of the passenger side?  The AM/FM radio works fine but I would like to run her through an automatic car wash without fear it will get caught up in anything.

 

Thoughts?

Apparently, there is a cord inside that can break.

Trying to replace antenna mast on my 2000 RX300, got the antenna off but the cord with the teeth didn't come out. Trying (justanswer.com)
