Its fairly easy. Pop the rear panel pieces off and you should be able to figure it out from there. If i remember correctly you gotta pop the rear center piece off first then you can remove the side. Once all the panels are off you'll be able to see the antenna and rear windshield washer container if your car is equipped with it.

Just get the antenna mast for about 30 bucks. You take off the old one and all the plastic wire at the bottom (which is used to make it go up and down). And then stick the new one in, and turn on the car radio. Then as you turn it off (I think) it should try to pull the new plastic lead in. It will make sense once you see the motor and everything. Dealers will tell you you have to get a new assembly (about 175) but if all that broke it the part that goes up and down, just get a new mast and install it yourself.
