Default Antenna ?

My antenna on my 95 formula doesnt work anymore and I hate it just sticking up in the air. I don't use radio anyways so is there a way to get it to go down and stay down because it wont just gto down if I try to push it down.....

thanks

Is it stuck up?
If it is, I dont know the best way to get it down.
If not, then you can put a switch in-line with the antenna's power wire. The antenna requires constant power to stay up. If you cut the power to it, it will go down.

Take it apart and then remove the plastic wire that makes the antenna retract. It is like a plastic ribbon with teeth on it that goes all the way through the antenna. It would colaspe then. Put it back together afterwards. They have a factory repair kit for the plastic teeth. Or maybe the motor is stuck. Maybe you could just buy a used one.
