First things first, if the motor isn't running (and believe me, you'll HEAR it) then you gotta fix that before you'll be able to install the mast. Peel back the carpeting and make sure the antenna is plugged in AND grounded! A common problem is that the screws that secure the antenna to the body of the car work loose and it looses its ground connection. The antenna will then fail to work!
After you get the motor working (I'm sure it will be a grounding problem), have someone sit in the car and operate the radio on and off while you try and feed it the mast. You want to have the "teeth" in the mast facing the front of the car since that's how it will catch it. It'll take a few tries to get it to grab but it shouldn't be that hard.
The key is having someone to operate the radio since if you do it yourself you waste precious time running to the back of the car and fumbling with the mast, by which time the motor stops.
