Default Power Antenna Promblems

On my '94 hardtop corvette, the antenna goes up and down but when I shut the radio off the antenna stays up about two or three inches. One will this made my battery go dead and what is the easiest way to replace the antenna?

I would pull the insert out and check for broken teeth on it.

Might be what is causing it to jam.

I had the same problem 5 or 6 years ago. Not really hard to replace the mast if it is broken. If you can get a helper to turn the radio on and off as you thread the old 1 out and new 1 in, it makes it alot easier to do.
