Antenna doesn't go down any more?
Hi all,

Have you guys had this problem where the antenna stays up after turning the car off? This just started happening on my 97 S600, any ideas?

Thanks,

1. Use silicone lubricant

2. Ensure your battery is healthy with a full charge. A low battery will show in an antenna not retracting all the way with about 3" exposed.
