... though it was on my 1999 9-3 SE. I had replaced the mast, and the motor still wouldn't retract consistently, with all the clicking noises you describe.
The bad news is, when I couldn't figure it out, I mentioned it to the dealer when I went in to have my power steering pump replaced (under warranty).
The bad news is, to fix my antenna problem, the dealer replaced the entire power antenna motor. Now everything works well! As for the direct cost of a new antenna motor out of warranty, it isn't pretty. The installation is more involved than replacing just the mast too, but doesn't look too difficult...
Best,
Lutfisk
