Antenna Mast Conversion Kit for Toyota Solara (02/2001-2003) - Quick

In this review of the AntennaMastsRus Power Antenna Mast Conversion Kit the bottom line is simple: this kit is for Toyota Solara owners (2002/2001-2003) who want a fast, low-cost way to stop fighting a broken telescoping power antenna without replacing the entire power unit. The reviewer found the kit converts the factory power antenna into a fixed 6 3/4' mast using the existing motor as a base, and the patented insert made the process straightforward. If you want a reliable short antenna and a 5 minute install, this conversion kit is what to consider.

Key Features

• Vehicle fit: Designed to fit 02/2001-2003 Toyota Solara models so buyers can be confident about compatibility.
• Patent design: Includes the US PATENT 10,573,960 conversion sleeve that allows reuse of the factory power unit without a full replacement.
• Complete kit: Ships with both the conversion insert and a German engineered 6 3/4' antenna mast so no additional parts are needed.
• Simple installation: The process requires removing the exterior mounting nut, inserting the sleeve, reinstalling the nut and threading on the short mast for a true 5 minute install.
• USA assembled: Assembled by a family-owned USA business with over 20 years of expertise, offering straightforward quality control and support.

Who It's For

This conversion kit is ideal for Solara owners who have a failed or unreliable telescoping power antenna motor but want to keep the existing power unit in place and avoid pulling new wiring or replacing the entire base. It suits drivers who prefer a short fixed mast for city driving, car washes, or aesthetic reasons.

It is not aimed at customers who need a fully powered retractable antenna restored to working telescoping condition or who require a different mast length than the included 6 3/4'. Professional installers will appreciate the simplicity, but most owners can complete the swap themselves.
