Possible to just replace Antenna and not whole assembly

[JDMMA70]

my antenna on the supra only goes up half way and stops I noticed that the middle section (part that's stuck is bent) so is it possible to just replace the rod and not the entire antenna assembly? I can get a video later showing you what I mean by stuck.


Thanks

Yep, but if the gear on the motor is screwed you're SOL...

Yes, there are parts that can be had separately, gotta get them from Toyota.

$39 prolly wouldve been cheaper had i went to Champion but eh whatever.

Radio still works ok it just bugs me the antenna doesnt go up all the way. Thanks for the link RazoE gonna make my life easier.

I've done it both ways, and you don't HAVE to disassemble you entire car to do it. It does make it easier to get to it, but it's so much extra work.

I was hoping that the link would show a little something about replacing the mast itself.

similar to this? Is it safe i was thinking it would mess up something

I wish someone could verify if our cars were the same as that. Are you going to attenpt to do it that way?

was thinking about it theres another video of someone doing the same procedure on a SC300, but i may just go the safe route and remove the whole thing.

No, as the cable is attached to the motor and threaded into the mast.

(this is why I just bought a new unit)

Just replaced it ForcedTorque you were right i didnt have to take out the motor, the nylon cord is just screwed onto the Mast took 20min tops to replace, now it works fine included a little video if anybody might be confused as to how to replace it.
