Problems Replacing Antenna Mast 850 1995

I just recently replaced my antenna mast on my 850 and all went well EXCEPT as the antenna retracts it makes a rubbing sound, slows down, and stops about 6 inches short of the bottom.

The new part's plastic gear strip seemed to be considerably longer than the old part that I pulled off the car. I read another post from 4 years ago that suggested pieces of the gear strip can break off and remain in the motor? Anyone think this is the cause and if so can I remove the broken piece? If not - what do you think it could be?

Thanks,
David
