Rear trunk mounted one? Remove top ferrul nut (pliers with rubber/cloth protector). Pop plastic clips in trunk holding carpet. The one or 2 10MM bolts holting bracket. If it doesn't go up or down but motor whirs you probably need to replace the $30 mast assembly. Once ferrul nut is removed turn on car/radio and the mast should come out or can be gently pulled out.

If you replace ust the mast, be sure to notice which way the teeth on the old mast are pointing. This way you know which way to insert the new mast.
Turn the radio on, mast and threader "tape" comes out. Leave the radio on, insert new mast with the teeth of the "tape" facing the same way as the old one. Have someone turn the radio off. This will turn the motor on in the opposite direction to draw the new antenna mast back in.
