Just an FYI..
This fix is different on a 1st Generation power antenna. If the mast is broke/bent you must remove the motor and disassemble.
This is because the mast cord is held in place by a friction clip inside the motor housing. Pull all you want on the mast while someone pushes the antenna up button and it ain't gonna come out.
Just wanted to chime in as I was given bad information and could never figure out why my antenna would never come out as described.
I replaced the mast as described here:
