Default Antenna???
My power antenna is stuck in the up position can I force it down and still get reception or do I need to leave it up.

I found it very hard to get reception when my power antenna wasn't working and staying retracted. I think you might want to just leave it up or get a new power antenna for like 60 bucks at best buy.

Not for mine...I paid 79 bucks for a brand new GM power antenna when I was doing a swap in my Z and paid 7 bucks shipping. Same antenna is like 89 bucks at GMpartsdirect and 15 bucks to ship.
