Power ant. goes up every time I hit a bump.

When the stock radio is off, the ant. goes up any time i hit a bump, or shut the door, or shut the hood. It goes down as soon as it extends. Any ideas what it could be?

LOL that sucks dude but you have to admit that its kind of a funny problem i would just take the antenna out and tighten up all connections because as you hit a bump it must be getting a connection and then loosing it

Dodgy antenna relay that operates with sudden shocks maybe?
