rockauto.com shows two parts. It's not clear if the lower cost one is
just the mast for the powered type or just a fixed mast. Check with
the dealer, you should not have to replace the motor unit.

There's a notched plastic length inside the power antenna that pushes it up
and pulls it down, and it's probably broken. It curls up on a reel actuated
by the antenna motor. I'm surprised it's lasted you this long. Power
antennas are frankly a pain in the , and when they break, the best thing
(I think) to do is replace them with a manual one and forget it. (or get a
newer model car where the antenna is built into the rear window.
