Lexus RX 300 Antenna Won't Retract

ross20

I have 109,000 on the car, and just replaced air flow sensor ($400), bearings ($$), need to replace heat vent motor ($800). The antenna now is stuck in the up position and will not go down or up. I can hear the antenna motor churning when I start the car and/or turn on or off the radeo. Anybody know how to replace the antena cheaply??

I just lost the only remote key for this car . I've only had the car 3 weeks. Dealer service says with no "Master" remote with chip, they can't replace. They have to put in a new computer for $1,700.00 plus. The key would be another $280.
Does anyone know a way around this? Help! Thank you.
