It's probably just the mast that needs to be replaced. It's got a kind of zipper attached to the mast that allows the antenna to be pulled into the power mechanism. Pretty easy to fix. Look on ebay. I'll put a pic of it on here for ya.

Pull the inner fender out. It's all right there.

What Cobraguy Said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When you get the antenna assembly out check out these instructions on replacing the mast. You might have to take the antenna motor cover off to get the broken parts out. I had to. If you remove the nut that holds the mast in and pull the mast right out you will be able to tell if the nylon "zipper" is broken in half and has to be replaced.
