Mast replacement is easy. Get one at the dealer (or other source) for under $100.

Most likely, the plastic toothed shaft inside the mast is broken or stripped.

Have someone turn the radio on. Pull out old mast, insert the new one and gently guide the plastic insert as the radio is turned off until the plastic engages with the antenna gear and retracts on its own.
