Need Stock Antena 2002 Lexus 430 LS
Hello all. My daughter had a run in with the garage door and My antena is HISTORY. I would like to replace it and thought maybe someone out there may have one. I need to get the mass out of the unit. Any ideas on how to do so on my own?? HELP and a replacement Antenna would be MUCH APPRECIATED!! Thanks ALL!

There are several relevant past threads including one with a post from an owner who used an "easy out" bit to extract the remainder of the mast from the base. Here are a couple:

The antenna is of no use unless you have the 2002 model year Sprint-based dealer installed Lexus phone and are still using it (unlikely) or you have an aftermarket phone kit wired to use it. As others have done, you might want to leave the mast off or screw in a bolt if you want to cover the hole.

I removed the antenna once I got the vehicle and just put a 3M double sided round tab over the antenna hole and Sharpie'd it black. It's stayed on for over two years now with no problem.
No need having an antenna that does nothing.
