Does the antenna go down when you turn the radio off ?

So if it doesn't go down with the face plate removed, or the radio off with the face plate on, when does it go down? Just with ignition off?

I have to push it down by hand.

was your antenna working beforehand? did you use the solid blue one or the blue one with the white stripe?

I would check the wiring. it's possible they swapped the remote turn on wire and power antenna. My stereo has 2 blue wires. One for amp and one for the power antenna.
