Removal of 95 Avalon Antenna

If just the mast is broken and the motor still works, you can purchase a replacement mast at a Toyota dealer and replace just the mast. To replace just the mast, remove the retaining ring on the fender by turning it counter-clockwise, then have someone raise he mast while you pull out the sections. The telescoping sections and a vinyl drive cable should come out. To install the replacement mast, feed the vinyl drive cable into the opening and have someone retract the antenna mast. this might take a few tries until you have the teeth on the cable aligned so that the take-up spool can grab it and pull in the antenna sections. make sure you have the sections lined up so hat you don't break the replacement mast.

If you want to replace the entire antenna assembly, remove the retaining ring on top of the fender and then remove the antenna assembly from the support bracket in the trunk and unplug the power and antenna leads.
