Toyota Landcruiser - Electric aerial - Paul Nicklin

The electric aerial has stopped going up and down but i can still hear the motor starting and stopping, i think i have a replacement to fit but does the trim that hugs the wing need to be removed in order to get the inner wing off so as the broken aerial can be accessed, i have removed all of the screws/inserts but the inner wing is still stuck fast but appears to lip under the exterior trim......any suggestions, thanks Paul

There is only one type of replacement mast and nylon drive that fits this car and as far as I am aware it is only available from toyota.A new mast can be fitted from the top without removing the aerial from the wing by removing the chrome top locking ring and tube guide.The new mast can be fed in from the top.The only problem may be if the nylon drive has broken in which case the aerial will have to be removed and dismantled to take out the broken drive.The plastic wing under shield will need to be removed for access.It is held to the wing with some screws and plastic pop studs.hth
