Should the radio antenna retract entirely into the fender

The "timing" between mast and drive spool may have been upset. Has there been any mast replacement or other work in the past?

I'm thinking that the previous owner was a bit of a twit. He said that the car only had a cassette player but it does in fact have the cd changer in the boot. A close inspection of the aerial indicated that it had been bent badly once before and someone tried to straighten it ....guess I'll need to replace it eventually.

Turn the radio on to extend the antenna then spray the antenna with WD40 and work it up and down the antenna then wipe it clean and the repeat the process. After you do that 2 or 3 times turn the radio off to retract the antenna and help it retract without bending it. Do this a few times wiping it clean between operations. Often dirt will cause it from retracting property. See if this helps the operation.

mine was bent and would not retract fully when I bought the car. I got a replacement ($15) and figured out how to put things together (there is at least one good youtube vidoe that shows most of how to do this). The antenna now goes up and retracts fully.
I enjoy the sound of the road so much that I rarely listen to the radio :-)
